The Art Assignment: Scramble Scrabble Dinner

Assignment given by: J. Morgan Puett

Artist: minnesbeta

My first try at the scramble scrabble dinner assigned by J. Morgan Puett, during the day the family celebrated my father and his wife’s birthdays. We definitely went to safe with the dishes, something to work on for next time, but it was still a fun experience that made us all want to do it again.

The dishes we made was:

Baked salmon with chanterelles, miso and ginger, sprinkled with grated chocolate (Very tasty!)

Mashed potatoes with spinach and creme fraisch, also sprinkled with chocolate (tasty but not very inventive)

Mashed (we seem to like mashing things in my family...) strawberries frozen together with whipped cream, lemon and coconut (also very tasty)

The Art Assignment: Lost Childhood Object

Assignment given by: Lenka Clayton

Artist: minnesbeta

I asked my friend Ellinor if she’d lost an object from her childhood, this is what she said:

”A piece from my mom's old apple tree. It was a stump of an old branch that I used as a handle when I climbed up or down the tree almost every day. It was a very important part of this very important tree. One day my godfather came to prune all the trees in the garden and he, unknowing, cut the handle-stump off! I was devastated and ran out into the forest to cry. Afterwards I had the stump standing in my room, as an important and very close friend, for a long time. It's gone now, I don't know where it went. It disappeared twice, first from the tree and then from my things. It was about 10 cm tall, wider at the base, leaning to one side and had its own little stump close to the top on the leaning side.”

Broken bones saved for later.

Frankenstein’s Bransch

Skin on a tree. I started stitching. Stitch by stitch and piece by piece I started covering something once living with something now dead. A bransch lost from the tree needs another layer of protection.

When it’s finally done it’s time to remove the tree and let the empty skin remember it.
