New work - Fairground food signs on paper

New hand painted sign on printing paper.

“Pop Corn” enamel, acrylic, and latex paint, 18.75 x 26.25” 2021
This sign is a bit of an oddball in that there are stripes and such, but it just felt appropriate. Perhaps when I get the whole series done it won’t look so different.

If you didn’t know:
“Popcorn (popped corn, popcorns or pop-corn) is a variety of corn kernel which expands and puffs up when heated; the same names are also used to refer to the foodstuff produced by the expansion. A popcorn kernel's strong hull contains the seed's hard, starchy shell endosperm with 14–20% moisture, which turns to steam as the kernel is heated. Pressure from the steam continues to build until the hull ruptures, allowing the kernel to forcefully expand, from 20 to 50 times its original size, and then cool.”

”Cotton Candy” enamel, acrylic, and latex paint, 18.75 x 26.25”, 2021

In case you didn’t know:
“Cotton candy or Candy Floss is a spun sugar confection that resembles cotton. It usually contains small amounts of flavoring or food coloring. The candy is made by heating and liquefying sugar, spinning it centrifugally through minute holes—by which the sugar rapidly cools and re-solidifies into fine strands. It is often sold at fairs, circuses, carnivals, and festivals—served in a plastic bag or on a stick or paper cone. Cotton candy is made and sold globally—as candy floss in the UK, Ireland, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, and as fairy floss in Australia and New Zealand. Similar confections include the Korean Kkul-tarae and the Persian pashmak.”
