Hamburger Dress - You Want Fries with That Frock?
A Dress That Really Shows Off Your Buns! Photo by WENN
This special sauce-y dress is hilarious and brilliant, which is just what O'Shell wants. She states the following on her Website:
Because I enjoy the irony between subject matter and material, I have merged my favorite subject matter (food) with my favorite process (crochet). I love food too much to be satisfied with its transience; therefore I am driven to give it permanence through art. I am a passionate advocate for crochet as an art medium -- going beyond its traditional uses and exploring its limitless possibilities. By taking both food and crochet out of their ordinary settings, I hope to challenge the viewer's preconceived notions of their roles. And I hope it makes people hungry.
The burger dress is awesome and all, but the sun is shining and we're coming off a long weekend, so we're thinking we might have to make a mid-afternoon change into the ice cream sundae dress.
Oh, and in case you're hoping to make one of your own, forget about it -- O'Shell's creations are one-of-a-kind, and no, she doesn't sell patterns. But, items that haven't been sold to a gallery yet are still available for purchase. Keep in mind, though, that she's an artist and charges accordingly -- meaning one of her food dresses sells for around $900.
Guess, most of us will have to settle for the drive-through to satisfy our cravings.
