While making our way through the IC Art stops and meeting artists, seeing their studios, and drinking their wine, one artist (and of course her work) definitely was a highlight for me... Linda Darke Swaynos. As Gordy and I rounded a corner on the 2nd floor of WinterStreet Studios we were tantalized by the smell of toast. There can't possibly be a person alive who doesn't some how respond to the smell of toast... it is right up there with popcorn and bread baking in the oven.
From the postcard:
Toast: A Celebration of Life
An installation by Linda Darke Swaynos of 2,400 pieces of toast (150 pounds, the average weight of a person).
The exhibition includes a creative station, where individuals can make their own toast-art, and a picture-hunt, paintings, drawings, prints, and all things toast will rise and take their place upon the walls or loaf about the room or do what ever they want to do.
-----
Attendees were also encouraged to write their own toast Haikus on pictures of toast then post them on the wall.
This is a great installation, and Linda is bright, witty, fun, and passionate about her art.

I saw a machine where you could imprint patterns on toast. It was a digital thing. I'll see if I can find it --it is stored somewhere on one of these computers.
