Tower of Fluff
|
| Melissa Glick
Melissa enjoyed her
first fluffernutter at the age of eight, the same
year she learned about Andy Warhol. Taking a Fluff
jar the way of the Campbell Soup can is possible to
do today with just the press of a button. So much
has changed since her first fluffernutter 36 years
ago, but Fluff is always still Fluff.

| Deborah Grumet
Inspired by the desire
to use peanut butter and Fluff as a painting medium,
Deborah restrained herself to acrylic and colored
pencil to honor the Fluffernutter in the styles of
Lichenstein, Polloch, Rothko and Warhol.

Vick Vercauteren
Spying a
Fluffernutter in a classmate's lunch drew longing
and envy from Vick - candy for lunch!
Today as an artist she tries to re-create that
experience for us, luring us with eye candy and
buttery textures. |
