Week 7 - Midterm Projects

This week we had critiques of the midterm "edible self-portrait" project.









Yedda's tea creations

Puerh Pork Ribs, Biluochun Lobster, Chinese Marble Tea Eggs, and Jasmine Jell-O. All based on tea flavors from China, where she grew up.










Pamela's dumplings "small but powerful"; to be eaten with community






Lisha's edible ice sculptures highlighting colors derived from various foods and light refractions and reflections from ice, prisms and mirrors.










Sydney's "Hidden Aspects" vegan desserts reference the rich tradition of mandalas made from natural materials while also surprising the diner with just how delicious plant-based desserts can be.







Jaiwen's multi-layered cheesecake, representing the many layers of her personality.








Rob's "Enchiladas de Gringo Flambe" referencing the artist's sexuality, cultural heritage, his family's socio-economic status during childhood, two family recipes, and a taco shell "border wall".








Viviann's "Looks Can Be Deceiving" dumplings. Filled with non-traditional dumpling fillings from various locations the artist has lived, to be eaten in solitude expressing the artist's introverted personality.






Zihong's sesame pancake and tofu with peanut butter sauce, served over stone with dry ice. Meant to create visual, textural and flavor contrast to reference the artist's personality extremes.






Daniel's broths. Each broth contains a blend of ingredients meant to evoke a sense of place he has lived or visited: Berlin, New York, Venice, Sardinia, Black Forest, his Grandmother's Garden and other Grandmother's Farm.






Lala's food calendar showing her reliance on store-bought and pre-made foods.




Boyan's free-form soldier cookie. Made with found/recycled material and referencing the idea of "soldiering on" and cleansing the system with activated carbon.


HOMEWORK
