Shayna Leib - Patisserie

That is not a pastry. That is blown glass. Shayna Leib has done many of these, blending two kinds of art in a shimmering combo. The work has personal meaning for Leib, but not in the way you might expect:

I react to food with high histamine, salicylate, and copper content, and it results in very severe dietary restriction. This body of work started as a therapeutic exercise in deconstruction and a re-training of the mind to look at dessert as form rather than food. It soon became a technical riddle, and I became a food taxidermist of french pastries.
