'Muffin_Tops_Foster'
was the phrase that introduced me to the work of Leah Foster
(whose legs can be seen here amongst that array of sweet goods).
Searching for visual inspiration, or what my husband likes to refer to as 'muffin porn' I was immediately taken by this image!
It turns out 'Muffin_Top_Foster' or more aptly, 'The Inspirational Leah Foster' is a New York based mixed media artist who works with....wait for it..... Muffin tops!
Thats her above with one of her installations, looking a lot like Shoshona from Girls.
That can only make her cooler, right?!
Just in case your not kicking yourself hard enough for a "why didn't I think of that?" moment, did I mention that she is only 25 years old??!!!
Leah uses the 'muffin' (or 'cupcake' but lets use Muffin) as a vehicle to explore gender based body issues and what she refers to as the 'duality of the Muffin' ...(ok she totally used cupcake but go with me) ...the simultaneous attraction and repulsion of these amazing baked goods.
To hear her talk about her work with the muffins click on the following link:
Clearly she is headed for big things and I cant wait to see what comes next!
You can find her website here: http://leahfoster.carbonmade.com
And Leah if your reading, I'm sure we'd be like best friends!
