Razzle Dazzle ’em with Nutrition

ImageDoesn’t this just dazzle your eyes with colors, images of foods, beads, shapes, tabs and more? A photo of this piece was a finalist in the Journal of the American Dietetics Association Journal Calendar contest and became “Miss January 2013”. Visitors to my exhibition seem to be drawn towards it as they explore the various elements of this unusual quilted wall hanging. As a dietitian, my inpiration came from the myriad of food products that are on the market, often confusing us with their ingredients and promotions. Is it a real food or what? A fruit substitute or a candy bar? It’s not always easy to tell but this should remind you to look deeper into something to learn more about either the food or the art.
