Liz Hickok's gelatinous vision of SF comes to life in her scale model project, San Francisco in Jell-O.
This project consists of photographs and video, which depict various San Francisco landscapes. I make the landscapes by constructing scale models of the architectural elements which I use to make molds. I then cast the buildings in Jell-O. Similar to making a movie set, I add backdrops, which I often paint, and elements such as mountains or trees, and then I dramatically light the scenes from the back or underneath. The Jell-O sculptures quickly decay, leaving the photographs and video as the remains.
Still gettin' hyphie on these Jell-O cities? You can also check out this video of Hickok's scale model of Scottsdale's Center for the Arts.

I was not impressed with this piece. I went to see it at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and was definitely underwhelmed by the size. The picture you posted is almost to scale!
