David Byrne's stratified turkey
This food art by my main man David Byrne appears on daniellespencer.com along with many other similarly-shaped food sculptures. Here's what the judges said (emphasis mine):
Baby's First Turkey: Winner, "Most Wholesome". Byrne deftly addresses the
mortality of the turkey with its reconstitution in vegetable form. The layering
functions as a morphological evocation of sedimentary rock, thereby evoking the
passage of time, while the vegetable puree evinces babyhood, enacting the cycle
of life. A bold and powerful statement.
