Chapter Two: The Disintegration of Bread Man


Sorry for the long absence everyone! I have missed Aye Aye. Here is my final for my ceramics class, which focused on casting. I made bread, made a plaster mold from it, made clay bread from that, made clay molds from that, and baked bread in the clay molds in my oven, after sealing them with canola oil baked into the clay for hours at 400 degrees. The surfaces are made with butter and buttermilk and oil. So, you see here three bread positives, one bread negative, six ceramic positives, and three ceramic negatives. There are four plaster molds, (three negatives, one positive) that are not pictured.

Are the bread men edible? Does that relate to the theme at all?

Yeah, I guess you can eat them, though that is not really what it is about for me. For me it is more about the idea of bread as a perishable thing which molds and crumbles, compared to ceramic, which lasts forever. And the idea of immortalizing a flawed object.

Yeah, you can maybe eat it. It might taste a little oily because it is baked in ceramic that is sealed with canola oil. This piece is sort of about the same thing as the dough animation, though kinda different. If it is about the same thing, then it is about people and limitations. :) Most broad topic ever. so yeah, they are sorta related.
