Toast Art

Take a good look at the header image - it's a mural, made from toast! The artists are Ingrid Falk and Gustavo Aguerre, and the piece was made for Galleria Milano of Milan, Italy, in October/ November 1999.

"The Toaster is a large picture, seven metres long and four and a half metres high, totally made from bread toasted in different temperatures and for different lengths of time to reach the different nuances that occur between black and white, ochre and rust. It took seven days of work and several friends and their toasters to prepare the 3.053 pieces of toast necessary to build the gigantic mosaic, which viewed up close, resembles a beautiful abstract picture but when viewed from a distance most closely resembles a photograph of a toaster."
