Most people are taught as
children not to play with their food. But one sculptor has made an artwork out
of it. Instead of using her loaf
to make sandwiches, Polish-born artist Milena Korolczuk spent hours
painstakingly creating intricate busts of faces of cultural icons from pieces
of bread. Incredibly lifelike and
detailed depictions of rapper Jay Z, artist Andy Warhol, and even ancient
philosopher Plato were carved from crusts.
Ms Korolczuk's stunning
sculptures feature a range of celebrities and famous names. But while some, such as
Jay-Z and Andy Warhol, are instantly recognisable, some are perhaps less well
known. More Pics after jump:
Her work includes the
faces of German mathematician and astronomer August Ferdinand Mobius and Polish
novelist Witold Gombrowicz. She also includes
mythological figures such as Prometheus. As well as a range of
famous faces, Ms Korolczuk also carved her very own version of Stonehenge, in
Wiltshire, from the food.
She even created her own
tiny version of the Earth itself. Her creations are made
entirely using balled up bits of Wonder Bread. Little is known about Ms
Korolczuk, though she is said to be better known among art circles for her film
and photography that any sculpture work.
Although she works from
her home in Oakland, California, Ms Korolczuk originally hails from Podlasie
Zabludow in north east Poland.
She graduated from the
Poznan University of Fine Arts in 2010.
