Artists' book. A sculptural representation in yellow fabric, printed fabric, hand-dyed silk and batting of a grilled cheese sandwich. When opened, the "cheese" is revealed to be a long accordion-folded strip of cloth, each panel with a pictorial representation of the steps to making a grilled cheese sandwich embroidered on the panels. The volume is presented on a blue heavy plastic circular plate.
Artist's statement: "A step by step 'How to' for the ultimate comfort food - grilled cheese sandwich. Also, it is one of the first foods a child learns to make on the stove."
