Liz Hickok


This week I'd like to introduce you all to Liz Hickok. I stumbled upon these photographs via YouTube where San Francisco, made of Jello, suffered from a strong earthquake followed by a tidal wave which desolved the city.


Notice in all the jello buildings all of the architectural details? Liz Hickok had to sculpt miniature scale model molds of each of those buildings, then wait for them to dry and finally add the liquid Jello and allow to set before constructing the entire city. Imagine how long of a process that would take considering Jello doesn't set long outside the refrigerator. But don't think Jello was the only ingredient used to make these unique photos, Liz also had to paint backgrounds and add landscape details like trees to the picture as well as lighting it all from different angles. Talk about a labor of love!


Liz made a series of photos and videos before the destruction of this Jello city by the tidal
wave.
