Inspiration can be found in many different places from nature to everyday items including food, sweet sugary foods to be precise. While our society idolizes over movie stars and singers, one face reocurse throughout art, more than anyother. Marilyn Monroe was sculpted and then finalized with an exoskeleton of jelly beens. This famous sex icon is made out of 254,093 jelly beans ranging in a variety of flavors, from tuti fruti to buttered popcorn just to name a few. Marilyn Monroe's statue produced out of jelly beans can be located at IT’SUGAR store in Universal CityWalk. This unique method of using jelly beans to portray her every aspect through one element is by far a fascinating design technique. By sculpting her to be curvilinear the fluidity of her design becomes more realistic grasping the viewers interest. Also by tying in Monroe's signature posse it is hard for anyone not to recognize her right off the bat.
Famous hollywood icons play a large part in our society from how we act, how we dress, and even how we represent art. This fascinating technique of using candy as the main element has many flocking to IT'SUGAR just to see the 10 foot sculpture. By displaying Monroe's sculpture made-out of jellybeans creates a new mouth watering sensation for the customers that come to the store, inspiring all whom consume these delouse treats.
