The world’s largest toast mosaic was created last Sunday by Laura Hadland in honour of her mother in law’s 50th birthday. The mosaic measures 32 feet and 8 inches by 42 feet image (about the size of a giant squid).
As the record breaking mosaic was a surprise, it is unlikely that Laura Hadland obtained her mother in law (Sandra Whitfield)’s permission before embarking on such a feat of edible artistry. What about Mrs Whitfield’s image rights? How did she feel at being reduced to toast? Whilst unlikely to sue her daughter in law there is a salient lesson for all artists: before embarking on a new work of art (record breaking or otherwise) it is always worth considering do I have the sitter’s permission?
