Surface Magazine: Will Work With Food

Will Work for Art, by Kevin West Surface Magazine December 08, 2017 Read more here … (excerpt) A different aspect of identity, its subjectivity, animates “Sour Cherry Pie” (2004–present), Elaine Tin Nyo’s study of Americana. Once widely grown as “pie cherries,” the fruit is now as rare as homemade pie—“a cult,” says Tin Nyo.
