Cupcake Update

Hi Everybody-

Cupcake project is taking shape and becoming more refined. The plan is still to use the small room- the main wall will be wallpapered with this image of sprinkles- symbolic on many levels. Wall mirrors to the left and right which should create infinity effect. I will document cupcake handing out in the form of a hanging book, i.e. recipients will be given a large index card to share thoughts, ideally on the 1million+ hungry in LA. These cards are strung together vertically with book rings and will hang from the cieling in strands- The story they form is exquisite corpse style. Viewers walk through the strands of cards to read. In the mirror, the viewers, cards and sprinkles should be multiplied by mirrors.

I realized that cupcakes fit the project on many levels, including the celebration of the 85th birthday of Gallery 825. So, I will make 85 cupcakes for each location. I think to have 3 done by the opening and will continue baking through show.

I start Sunday at Downtown Women's Shelter with 85 chocolate cupcakes, chocolate frosting in gold cups with gold sprinkles.
