he Tempe Youth Library Gallery is currently featuring "Eye Candy," an art exhibit featuring work by locals Veronica Francis and Adrian Lesoing.
Artists from all over Arizona applied to be part of this show, says Michelle Dock, a gallery coordinator for the city of Tempe; their work was judged by a jury of four local artists and professors.
Lesoing's series focuses more on raising "food awareness," but in a very tongue-in-cheek way. Her black and white photographs, taken at the make-believe "Preservative Farms," include treats like powdered donuts, Dum Dum Pops and Reeses Peanut Butter cups growing in rows from the ground and candy corn found in plants.
