Dan Cretu Transforms Colorful Food into Playful, Edible Sculptures

These quirky sculptures from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dan-Cretu/289128557820339" target="_blank">Dan Cretu</a> are crafted entirely out of food to resemble the most average of household objects. The result? A colorful array of photographs from the visual artist and photographer that experiment with edible tidbits, transforming them into a camera, a football, and even a mini bicycle! By playing with food, Cretu adapts some of the most common fruits and veggies and gives them a new form, making even an orange sneaker look tasty enough to eat.

We are used to seeing food being used in contemporary art.

This bright series of images are pretty iconic.

The sculptures create a fun and often fruity alternative to everyday objects.

He combines a mixture of different foods within one sculpture.

Cretu's work is created from a wide range of food.

Made out of food the objects are obviously no longer useful, like this redundant football made from seeds.

This orange sneaker is a realistic design.
