Accidental Art?


two paintings sitting in front of one another.
the one in the front is missing the space that became
the cut-out of the loving sneakers in adidas in heat.
the one showing through never had a name.

to me, it looks like a type of postcard I used
to collect when touring france in the 80's.
I found a whole run of "recipe postcards"
which looked positively inedible.
they had bizarre photos of dishes on the front
and their recipes on the back.
I collected probably 40 or more before I lost interest.

  1. Those cards are truly ghastly.

    Two sites with wonderful recipe cards of inedible foods. If you liked the french cards, you'll love these as well.

    Bon apetit!
