It became a hedgehog leaving hibernation. It mostly consists of a mash containing sweetpotato, white potato, cream, butter, salt, white peppar and nutmeg. The heart is a frozen piece of ketchup, which melts when the mash is put on it (leaving the hibernation state). The spikes are of carved hotdogs, which is harder than it looks. The eyes and nose comes from homemade meatballs.
I got the inspiration from a story told of one of my uncles. He was very fussy with food when he was young. So my granddad used to paint pictures of cars and dogs on his flatbread in order for him to eat it. This is sort of an extension of that.
The ingridients, the extra meatballs are for snacking.
The ketchup heart.
One funky looking hedgehog.
The gruesome aftermath.
Art word of the post: Mass or volume
Mass or volume are words to use in description of 3D art such as sculptures which makes it appropriate in this blog. Words to describe the hedgehog would be; heavy, solid, organic soft and sationary (Schirrmacher & Englebright, 2009). Heavy because I think the mashed potatoes gives a heavy look to it, and feeeling in stomach if one eats to much of it. Solid for the fact that it is just that both in reality and apperance. Since the sculpture is built with only , in lack of a better name, natural material it has a very organic feel to it. The texture is soft since it consists mostly of mashed potatoes and the sculpture is very stationary on it´s plate since it would brake if it was to be moved.
