Finnen Bread – digital image
Last Wednesday morning I took a series of photos of a loaf of bread that I had been given. It is known as a Finnen loaf, a bread full of seeds and extremely heavy and wholesome.
Today’s image is taken from the loaf’s surface and (for me) has both abstract and landscape qualities.
I am considering a number of ideas and I’ll explore them in more detail over the coming weeks.
I am still interested in seeing bread as a landscape object, rather than just ‘bread’ as we all see it. Let’s face it, when you look at a loaf of bread, you don’t see a brick do you!
By exploring this theme I hope to develop another way of interpreting bread in my art.

very interesting…well it could be an interesting sand stone brick with stones in it. or pebbles in the sand or a yummy loaf of bread.
I must check up on the Finnen bread. we make our own bread and just love grains.
Great bread to eat Dors. The heaviest loaf I know, and should be carried with both hands! Great as toast.
