Suzanne Sarnoff for the New York Times
These wonderful small sculptures made of tofu were created by the photographer, Suzanne Sarnoff, for the accompanying article in the NYT. Clever! She has a real talent.
So these pieces made me think of the celebrated British artist Rachel Whiteread who worked in concrete and plaster.
Below, is a photo of her famous piece entitled House, which won her the Turner prize back in 1993. The life-sizework was created from a concrete cast of the inside of the original house located at the edge of Wennington Green just off Grove road. I presume that the original house was then destroyed to reveal this interpretation of it, et voila! Apparently it was part of a set of row houses which were slated for demolition to create a park.
House lasted 11 weeks before it too was demolished. What a shame. It created quite a buzz during that time from both detractors and admirers. I like it. She's an interesting artist
