There came a time in the late 80s when I realized what fun it could be to have the frogs make themselves into saucepans of food. Like the FrogFrys, these could function in our world as Kitchen Art, that is, art made to go on that small back burner of your range that you never use.

Frogs also loved to make themselves into Breakfast Art, art to sit in the middle of a table in a kitchen nook. I have fond memories of sitting in my grandmother's kitchen nook, learning to read by studying the backs of cereal boxes. Here we have not only Cheerios but also Trix and Lucky Charms. My grandfather preferred Corn Pops.

Here we see a few bowls of flakey cereals with some bowls of frogstew just visible on the left.

FrogFrys are the most popular forms of Kitchen Art. They could even be hung from your pot rack or directly on the wall.

One of a series of dunking donut and frog cups. Frogs reacting in different ways to the dunking or even splash down of a giant chocolate donut into a full roasted cup of strong coffee.

Since I often cook one of my favorite family dishes, arroz con pollo, it seemed only natural to treat the frogs in the same manner.

I originally made frogfrys at York University in Toronto. Since they had just hired a chairman for the art department from New York named Fry and since he tried to eliminate non-artistic media such as photography and clay, people thought this was my revenge on him. Actually, it was just a coincedence.

I also made my pizza in fry pans, and this was the ultimate! Here you got a whole week's worth of pizza in one giant pan with every topping imaginable.

In the late 70s and early 80s I was getting really dissatisfied with the work. First I gave up frogs, then still not pleased, I decided to give up 3 dimensions. I rolled out slabs of clay, cut things out of them and then assembled them on little stages. The flat surfaces could be glazed. I did a whole series of pieces like this, The Dunking Donut being the first one. It was fake Italian Futurism.

Sometimes the first piece I do of a series is actually the last piece. In this case, I have ended the series of pots and pans by whipping up a pan of frogs with my handy portable mixer.
