She uses a scanning electron microscope for her terra cibus project, magnifying the surfaces of food between ten and a thousand times, abstracting their textures, making them seems as if they were birds eye views of otherwordly landscapes. Table salt looks like ice floes, cauliflower resembles a canyon/chasm, fortune cookies turn into tributaries, and my favorite, cake sprinkles. This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards and Sons I thought why not take a closer look at what we eat every day...Sugar looks otherworldly under the microscope. --Caren Alpert on The Food Seen\n\n"}
