enjoy a cup of coffee freshly poured, like this one,
all photographs @kibori_no_konno/Twitter, but my eyes deceived me, it is not coffee,
the coffee is in fact wood!
a couple of weeks ago, Kibori no Konno surprised his Twitter followers with an artwork inspired by coffee. At first glance, it looked like a photo of coffee being poured into a white cup, but then he followed that up with photos of the making-of process, which showed him meticulously sculpting the black liquid out of a block of wood, in an interview with Japanese magazine J-Town, Kibori no Konno said that he carved the artwork out of a cypress block, removing the excess material with a saw and multi-tool, and then drilled the foam bubbles with a hand drill. But the real challenge was applying the paint and varnish layer in such a way as to create the illusion of transparency,
“It was difficult to color a block of wood that had no transparency so that it would have a sense of transparency, so I had to make fine adjustments while painting,” the artist said, all told Kibori no Konno worked on this project for just a total of 12 hours,
I though the result was amazing, above is a video of the procedure, you can follow him on Twitter, what a terrific illusion, coffee made out of wood!
