Emma Snow. You Can Have Your Kate and Eat It. 2003.


Milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate on canvas. 30 inches x 20 inches.
As part of a project based on 'Mexico', Emma researched around the topic and discovered this was where chocolate was first developed; she decided to work in chocolate. After first making sculptures out of it she tried painting with it. After much experimentation she devised a methodology and produced this canvas entirely out of chocolate. It is a portrait of Kate Moss gorging on the confection and is called ' You can have your Kate and eat it'; even the white background is made from chocolate.
