Sweet Little (Under) Things

Published  December 22, 2011

Painstakingly crafted from sugar, this sweet little bra and panty ensemble was made by Giannina Coppiano Dwin and is on view at the Art & Culture Center of Florida in an exhibition titled Nothing We Can Call Our Own. Dwin, who was born in Ecuador and moved to the U.S. in 1970, also uses paprika, tumeric, and flour (her book Playing with Food is available at Blurb) in her ongoing exploration of themes related to women's bodies, nourishment and hunger, and transience.
