I’m finally uploading some of the sculpture series with raw bread dough. Part of what i like about them is how they’ll crack/decay over time, which i’ll document. These have a bit too much yeast, and kind of inflated overnight from how they where when i made them; i’m working with a batch now that has almost no yeast at all, so hopefully they’ll set with more of the detail intact. I really like working with the dough as a medium, the stickiness and elasticity. Part of it is also the connotations to domestic life, to an era when most bread was handmade, not bought, how rare the act of making loaves of bread is for people in their 20s/30s now. Most of them are organic shapes, cocoons or little coils, they seem to make the most sense, and i can’t get over how beautiful the dough gets as it stretches from being hung on something.
The last image is from a batch using beet juice instead of water, i hate all of them except this one.
