Melissa Cleaver with her confectionary creation.
I found her. The competition for my namesake. I finally met "The Cake Artiste", Melissa Cleaver at the Crazy Eights group show at the Hot Shops this month. Crazily enough we shared the same theme of "Lick". I actually wanted "Malady" but fate led me down a different path. I almost melted when I saw it. No, wait, that was the 95 degree weather that was smothering the gallery. Coated in my favorite colors and donned with iced-cicles, ice-cream cones and "one-way" street signs, not forgetting what appears to be a anatomically correct phallic representation topping the whole thing off! Well, I don't think it is but I can't really tell. If it were up to me...
A shot of the wall that my piece hung on, dwarfed by the giant tongue of artist Wanda Ewing.
Helloooo from Portland Makool loves you!
