Amber
Waves (2003) 596kB
Created for my F00D exhibition. I scanned a bunch of french fries
from my local Golden Arches to create this scene of Americana and
to instill reminscence of that song that goes "Oh beautiful, for
spacious skies, for amber waves of grain ..." |

Florada (2003) 256kB
Created as an attempt to get "pretty." Used
this idea for cover of the UCLA Extension School catalog Spring 2004.
But wouldn't be useful as a desktop pattern so tweaked it a bit. |
Rebirth (2003) 316kB
Created for my F00D exhibition. One of my total
favorites, but unfortunately not loved as much as I wanted. I was
influenced by Damien Hirst's shark in the fish tank. I wanted my
own, so I scanned a bunch of dried anchovies and made a geometrical
paradise of fishes that live on forever and ever. And can be eaten
as well after scanning (which did indeed happen). |

Sugar
Cubes (2003) 452kB
Created for my F00D exhibition. Ripped open
a packet of sugar to scan all crystals inside the packet. Used these
as 'pixels' to form a classical CG image of 2 shaded cubes. If you
ever get a chance, be sure to look at sugar under a microscope. It's
so much better than any modern sculpture you've recently seen. |
Caution
(2003) 1.4MB
Created for my F00D exhibition.
During the winter holiday season in the states, I saw red and green
corn chips. They were the most beautiful, round red and green
forms. I scanned 3 packages of them (it was not easy to select
the perfectly round ones). |

Commute (2003) 292kB
Created for my F00D exhibition.
Jello-brand gelatin used for the purpose of creating layers of
color. I felt that many artists' and designers' use of layered
colored plastics was a bit too toxic for my tastes. Jello comes
in every color of the rainbow, and I made a jello mold of true
spectral perfection (except with incorrect spectral order).
I wrote a program to correct the problem and that result is
gently overlaid. |
