Lo and Behold! The City of Jello!

September 21st, 2008 by Pamela

I always believe that creativity doesn’t just confine in artsy fartsy and designer stuff. What you are about to see just proves my point. Everybody can be creative and Liz Hickok happens to be very creative in creating an entire city of San Francisco out of Jell-O! How cool is that!


San Francisco City


Smooth and colorful night in San Francisco.


Twin peak in FULL colors! Wow!

She said in her website, Liz Hickok, “I create glowing, jellied scale models of urban sites, transforming ordinary physical surroundings into something unexpected and ephemeral. Lit from below, the molded shapes of the city blur into a jewel-like mosaic of luminous color and volume. The gelatinous material also evokes uncanny parallels with the geological uncertainties of San Francisco’s landscape. While the translucent beauty of the compositions first seduces the viewer, their fragility quickly becomes a metaphor for the transitory nature of human artifacts.”

Wobbly and slightly slanted but stable and beautifully colored City Hall.


Looks delicious! Imagine you are an ant strolling down Alamo Square. Paradise!


This is my favorite scene! The Bay Bridge, San Francisco.


These are the jello molds.
