I love planning trips and doing research so that I make the most of the experience. I'm quickly learning that you could probably spend a lifetime in San Francisco and not experience it all. So needless to say it's tough trying to squeeze it all into one week. Last night while I was reading Fodor's San Francisco 2010: With The Wine Country and came across a web site with this description "... for photos of a model of SF made from Jell-O"
Hmmm this sounds interesting... Immediately I reached for my iTouch and searched the address. WOW! The coolest most colourful artwork popped up. You can click on the images for more detailed views.

Liz Hickok is a San Francisco-based artist working in photography, video, sculpture, installation, and currently, Jell-O. Read more about Liz here and her extensive resume here. The following is a quote from her artist statement "I create glowing, jellied scale models of urban sites, transforming ordinary physical surroundings into something unexpected and ephemeral. Lit from below, the molded shapes of the city blur into a jewel-like mosaic of luminous color and volume." Read the rest of her statement here.
After she makes the molds and fills them with jello, she creates installations for public viewing as well as professional photographs that are made into prints available for purchase.

Second honeymoon? (I hope I read that right!), what a fantastic idea!! Because of the wedding my partner and I had to scale down our honeymoon plans, I love the idea of saving for another one! :) And I never knew Jello was so versatile!
This is a really cool concept.
I happen to not like Jello on account of its texture but as a medium I think it is genius.
I wonder how long each of the works generally lasts.
