As many foodies are wont to do, I often traverse the digital offerings in my Internet Exploration Vessel. Over at Wired, there’s a link to a kitchen crafter known simple as AnnaTheRed. Kitchen artist is more how’d I’d describe it. I’d eat something crafted. Something considered art? I might put the chopsticks down. Her medium is not paint nor clay nor fabric, but Bento, the japanese style of lunch provided in compartmentalized containers.
Her repetoire can be best described as “geeky” in origin, with most of her bento-art referencing popular video games, sci-fi series, and more.
I know for myself, seeing the Raving Rabbid bento had me chortling.
Wired has a slideshow of 15 images regarding her work here, and an interview with the artist here.
Its art. I know I couldn’t eat it. Hold the soy sauce and wasabi.
