I have been working in the studio and on some cool side projects in the last several months but haven't had a chance to post...
Here are some photos of some of the posts to come profiling my latest projects:
The Wedding Cake Project July 08
aka Operation Gay Cake
6 ft x 4 ft Mosaic Wedding Cake Interactive Sculpture
Project conceived by Santiago Rodriguez.
Design and creation by Santiago Rodriguez, Madeline Behrens- Brigham, Lillian Sizemore and Laurel True
Production assistance by Randi Casenza, Jack Dynis and Ben Otis Dugger.
The Wedding Cake Project was created at the 580 Hayes Market Gallery in San Francisco as a performance art piece. The final product, a giant, 6 foot diameter, double layer, sculptural mosaic cake, will be sited at City Hall in San Francisco to celebrate marriage and all unions of love.
Couples are invited to stand on the cake and become part of the artwork, as the artwork becomes part of the celebration of marriage.
The Cake is headed to City Hall in August. More info/ photos:
