Sandy Skoglund... and Morrie Robert Yohai...

Morrie Yohai, upphovsman till ostbågelinjen Cheez doodles, har avlidit 90 år gammal. Cheez doodles utvecklade han under 50-talet. De sju centimeter långa, krökta majsmjölskrokarna var en uppstickare mot den tunnare, krummare konkurrenten Cheetos. Cheez doodles fyller inte bara en funktion som tilltugg till populärkultur, utan har också använts i konst, bland annat i ett verk där den amerikanska fotografen Sandy Skoglund klädde ett helt cocktailparty i ostbågar.

Morrie Robert Yohai (pronounced yo-high; March 4, 1920 – July 27, 2010) was an American food company executive best known for his creation of Cheez Doodles, a cylindrical baked cornmeal puff most often with a cheddar cheese flavor.

I really really admire and like Sandy Skoglunds work of art.

It’s creepy and it’s also very aesthetic with the colour and the shapes and the multiplicity of animal that take place in unexpected environment and surroundings…
