BRUISED BANANA PEELS MAKE STUNNING ART
Anna raised money for a charity that distributes food for people in need and advocates against food waste.
Anna Chojnicka never intended to become a banana artist.
But in March 2020 when she became sick with a suspected case of coronavirus and was self-isolating at her London, England home, she started to go "a little bit stir crazy."
The result was banana art," Chojnicka told As It Happens guest host Nil Koksal. "It's now been almost 400 bananas."
These are no lazy doodles. She bruises the bananas to create elaborate drawings, which she shares daily on her Instagram page. They encompass everything from a detailed rendition of the Mona Lisa to a sketch of Homer Simpson in a muumuu.
"I don't use a pen or paint or anything," she said. "It's purely by using the peel of the banana."
