This is the state in progress after working this evening. I thought I would have enough whoopie cushions to cover the inside (14 so far), but I only got through a little over half the interior covered. I’ll have to order more before I can continue with the box. I need to finish the whoopie cushion flap stage before I can decide on a permanent place for the fabric and yarn. I planned on sculpting the hershey’s kisses on the top shelf into little teeth for a vagina dentata effect. I’ll be buying a new bag for that part of the process. Temptation has whittled down the supply. I also have no clue yet how to preserve the chocolate for installation of this piece.

Stage one for shadow box installation of a vagina. The cat is not part of the piece, though intrigued by the yarn. Materials include cut up whoopie cushions, yarn, two types of fabric, butcher paper, acrylic paints, wax, and wood.

Polaroid Shrinky Dink and Photo

I created this shrinky dink from a polaroid I took of two peaches with Time Zero film. The film has been discontinued. I’ve heard that Polaroid plans to discontinue all of its film soon. A rather sad development. I’m interested in process, transformation, and the relationship between objects in these little shrink plastic creations I’ve been doing as of late. The camera I drew from is an SX-70 Land Camera. I titled the polaroid, “Ripe Peaches.”

Prismacolor pencils on shrink plastic. Working yet again with the whole hormones and chocolate theme, this time on a smaller scale.
