HIDEOUSI've been thinking about cupcakes too much and now I'm just beginning to really despise them. I want to make more art about them. I want there to be people suffering and terrible things happening and then I want there to be icing everywhere and cupcakes covering their heads, because cupcakes make everything better.
But they don't, they are just these self indulgent, horribly sweet little things which are so trendy right now and with the glitter and the over the top icing and accessories they are just hideous. They have curds inside and glitter and gold dust and hundreds and thousands, but what tops it all off is that they are individual, personal desserts. They are self indulgent, you don't share a cupcake, it's all for you. Miniature desserts, Ugh.

Dear Laura,
ReplyDeleteI've just seen the fascinating
images of your bronze cupcakes.
Of course, I've followed your path the last months
with your passion for cupcakes, which I've never
understood. Sure, I like eating them sometimes
but you've veered away from the interesting
path you were exploring which began with the
grave images and progressed to the flower
drawings, prints and paperweights.
Naturally, you are exploring a new theme,
and you've just expressed the idea that cupcakes
make everything better - which is amusing
and partly true. I'm looking forward to see what
you do next :-)
Have a lovely sunday!
Bless*
Mark
