Shayna Leib is a 20 years experienced glass artist from California. She started a very beautiful and “delightful” project because of her peculiarity. For health reasons she cannot eat desserts, so she decided to create a “delicious” series of patisserie made of glass and porcelain.
She says about her work “No food is as powerful as dessert. We celebrate birthdays with it. Grandparents spoil children with it. And yet for me, it represents the unattainable. I react to food with high histamine, salicylate, and copper content, and it results in very severe dietary restriction. This body of work started as a therapeutic exercise in deconstruction and a re-training of the mind to look at dessert as form rather than food.”
