Chocoholics Alert: Artist Creates Room That’s Covered in Edible Chocolate Wallpaper

We're off to Scotland!

This room screams chocolate heaven.

Scottish artist Anya Gallaccio created a fantastic installation that featured mountains of chocolate, painted on the walls of a room.

Crafted for Jupiter Artland in Scotland, the exhibition piece called Stroke features a small bench surrounded by walls drenched in the smells and sight of dark chocolate.

Visitors were encouraged to touch and taste the edible piece with Gallaccio calling her work “ a performance and collaboration… making a piece of work becomes about chance – not just imposing will on something, but acknowledging its inherent qualities”.
