In this recent work, artist Tattfoo Tan explores ideas of food and play, replacing plastic checker and chess sets with edible cookies in flavors like cream filled ginger, citrus shortbread, and oatmeal and raisin (recipes are up on his site). All pieces were handmade by Tattfoo using custom-made cookie cutters. Each time a player takes an opponent’s piece, it can be eaten. Yum! And if you just can’t have a cookie without some ice cold milk, you’re in luck. Glasses of the good stuff accompany each side of the silkscreened checkerboard pattern.
