Reflective Log: Silver Leaf: Gold Leaf on Donut: Chloe Wise Reference


YouTube Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqhS_c58D9E

Key Points:

  • This donut was covered in edible gold leaf and it makes it look out of the ordinary, unusual, and obviously expensive and perhaps then desirable. 
  • The gold leaf ameliorates the food item, it 'shouldn't' be edible, it doesn't look edible. 
Reflections
  • This connects back to Chloe Wise's work due to the fact she uses food & advertising of food as a comment on consumerism, and in the same way that Chloe Wise places Chanel Logo's on bread, placing gold leaf on a donut gives it that same importance or shock factor.
