“Flank Steak, Beef Cake” is an original, handcut paper collage on 5×7 heavy watercolor paper.

Start with a side of beef – who doesn’t need a refresher on wholesale cuts and how to cook them? Add a side of steamed carrots, and a stone statue peeking through the window – well – it doesn’t necessary make sense, but the flank steak/beef cake connection appealed to me – and I love the vintage cookbooks – especially pages like this. Let’s throw some meat on the grill and contemplate a simpler time.
