DROP DEAD GORGEOUS

I sure hope everyone had a super weekend!!!
With such sad and sorrowful news coming in all the time from the pandemic, wouldn't it be nice to have a more delicious death?  One of my favorite artist Daniela Edburg did this exhibit several years ago, titled Drop Dead Gorgeous, a series that explores excess and the fine line between beauty and madness, and both mocks and satisfies our cravings. She may also get you to think twice before eating that whole package of  special treats or enjoy a object to much. Daniela Edburg is a Mexican artist born in Texas. Her work is photographic fictions. The main focus of her work is the human connection with the natural through the artificial. I love me some quirky.


Death by....Cake

 Death by...Coffee

Death by...Gummi Bears

Death by.... Cotton Candy

Death by...Lifesavors

Death by...Nutella

Death by...M&M'S

Death by...Sweetner

Death by...Oreos

Death by...knitting yarn

Death by...Slim Fast

Yeah... you know my death would be Death by...Gin!!! I , laying there, in a sea of gin bottles, in a huge marbou dressing robe, glass clinched in hand,  with a lime sticking out my mouth.  As Sixpense would say, Duh. Click here to check out Daniela's complete portfolio.

  3. Wow, with the exception of yarn, Slim Fast and Nutella, I've died all of these deaths! Death by Oreos was the best, followed by gummies :) I don't find these dark at all. I like 'em. Thanks for the picture of you in my head. Death by gin *snicker*.
