This autumn, she received a lot of attention for the bread tower she created at Wanås Art in Skåne.
A monument built of just over 11,000 slices of bread.
See more about it in the feature above.
The project she is currently working on she calls "Before I Die I Shall Bake a Museum", where she makes bread that represents details from various international museums:
- When I went to art college in the UK a few years ago, I thought about how to become part of the art world and one of the oldest, ritual ways to become part of something is to eat it.
Settled in Norrköping
She has her studio in the cultural district Hallarna.
She and her partner chose to move from Malmö to Norrköping a year ago:
- Mainly because it feels like a very rich cultural city.
And the interest in her bread art seems to be great.
She has previously exhibited in Finland and right now she is working on an exhibition she will have in May in Switzerland.
In the feature above, we are with her when she bakes bread for it.
Art that molds
Louise Waite says that there are other artists who also work with bread.
Already Salvador Dali made different types of bread hats.
One reason she started working with bread was that other art materials were expensive, but that there was very cheap bread available in the UK:
- I also like that you can eat the works of art, it both reduces and increases the value of them, but it is almost impossible to sell the works of art because they will collapse after a year or so.
