slideshow of recent zygote benefit big show/iron printmaker

Bob Perkoski Thursday, May 01, 2014

For its recent fundraiser, Zygote Press decided to merge both visual and culinary artists in a unique double billing called The Big Show and Iron Printmaker. So, in addition to an exhibit and sale of local artwork, they added an exciting new twist to the event. Held in the midtown print shop, the "Iron Chef" style competition featured teams of chefs and artists using "mystery" ingredients to create one-of-a-kind prints. Those prints were then judged by a team of guest judges.

Fresh Water photographer Bob Perkoski witnessed all the delicious action and fashioned this slideshow.
