on hot beverage froth design

there are 2 things that interest me about hot beverage froth design. sort of. the fact is i was presented with this hot chocolate recently and was mildly impressed. anyway, i like the attention to detail by the person pouring, who also knows their 'art' is about to vanish down a customers throat - but not before pleasing the punter with an attractive looking drink. it is about satisfaction. the cup was nice as well - charcoal coloured and japanese in style. the care for detail made the drink memorable, and that is what you want in anything really. a bit of love.

the green grass is the foil here to the brick and cement. it has begun to grow around the objects and that process has settled the piece. i was wondering if the placement has been changed by somebody walking past, curious to see if anything is of use. or if something has been removed because it was of use. hard rubbish collections are interactive like this. one persons shit is another ones gold. artists love them, and even the regular punter is prone to sifting through a pile. so the installation becomes permeable, changing shape via the curious mind.

what a combination this piece is. the grey and red, hard and soft textures play together beautifully. Its like Jasper Johns having a fight with Robert Smithson, and Mimi Dennett steps in to break it up.
the scarf bleeds from the bluestone in ornamental design, folding in and around itself without compromising the architecture of the rock. it resembles a letter or character that doesn't exist. the weathered nature of the piece tells a story of loss and time. was it a treasured item? is it more treasured now because its lost?
our sentimentality over items like the scarf adds emotional weight to the piece. there is a story - one that has continued via me taking the photograph..
