Morgue Chocolates

Morgue chocolates, "edible art" is made from molds of wounds found on bodies in a New York morgue.

UK's store Street Anatomy recently offered a chocolate heart for sale via their shop priced at $119 – it belonged to the teen victim of a police suicide and you can clearly see where the bullet both entered and left their heart.

Son of an obstetrician and the town coroner, as a child Artist  Stephen Shanabrook worked at a chocolate factory in a small town in Ohio. Overlapping these oppositional influences the artist created a unique vision of beauty, one on the threshold of death, pain and disaster. Shanabrook gives a new and often disturbing meaning to substances and forms otherwise associated with comfort, happiness and banality. By molding chocolates on the wounds on the corpses, Shanabrook tries to supplement the horrific image of the wounds with the seductive smell of the chocolates.
