Inspired by a show in Miami, in which a renowned artist made lovely pictures with sugar in bkacj
to depict the plights of children working in the sugar cane fields, we set out to recreate a traditional artwork using a medium
other than paint, chalk, pen/ink, or other materials customarily used in creating art. Studio Xers used coffee grounds,
poppy seeds, pastry,and other media as you can see from the selections below.

| Vegetables |

Drawing from a painting by Henri Matisse, I made
this rendering out of thinly sliced vegetables. Eggplant was the purple, bell peppers the red and yellow, turnip
for the white, and so on. The creation has a very short shelf life, so before the veggies shriveled up,
I took a photo and used it for my presentation to Studio X. Click below to see Henri's original

This picture is made of coffee grounds glued to parchment paper. Inspired
by Picasso's 1906 painting La Belle Fernande, I've created her in a dreamlike state, hoping that the coffee perhaps
will awake her.
