Salt x Dough!

These babies are pretty small and have an aluminum foil core. So here is my firey pumpkin and my happy pumpkin.

This is Poupée,  one of my smallest friends ! Always funny he loves playing tricks, sometimes he hides in my ears and sings me lullabies !

1 & 1/2 cup warmish water

Sending my roots back into the soil has taken some time here, and I've been trying to indulge myself in little projects to get myself back into the groove of making. I recently got really obsessed with these mysterious little coffins found in the nineteenth c in Scotland, and just kind of automatically started making them-- something about it just spoke to my yearning to nestle down into my new life. I don't have my studio and supplies yet, so the simplicity of making him out of what I had on hand, nearly fundaments of a home-- cork from our first celebratory bottle, salt, flour-- felt right. A christening. I wanted him to be rough and honest, made with the haste of obsession. Yet he feels sweet to me, more like a pig in a poke, comfortable and cozy, rather than a totem of despair (although, of course, what's sweetness if not always tinged a little sadness... such was the move, certainly). More to come, maybe. // #sculpture #saltdough #coffin #sleep #miniatures #piginapoke #primitive #delicate https://www.instagram.com/p/B3759GYIVBP/?igshid=fy380san9dts

Maybe this moment when we can do whatever we like is the most precious. . . . #mangoart #cambodiaart #koreanartist #claysart #saltdough #watercolorart #artcommission #아티스트 #아트 #비쥬얼아트 #visualartwork #funart #childrenart #thingsarealive #inziishart #inziish (at Phnom Penh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL036H5LS3o/?igshid=1k9djvk7y4iz7
