This past week I have kept working with cake decorating tools and clay. I wanted to expand what I was doing with the organic form that I covered in "frosting" and see what it would look like to "frost" the walls. So, on Wednesday I piped clay directly onto the wall in my studio, knowing that it wouldn't be able to be fired and that it would eventually fall off of the wall when the clay dried. It was kind of freeing creating something that I knew wasn't going to last and would be destroyed in a few days haha!!! So this is what it looked like when I finished on Wednesday night.....
And then by Saturday it looked like this.........
I am so pleased with the amount of detail that I can get with using the cake decorating tools and clay. I want to keep going with this and thinking more about what this act of piping clay to look like frosting really means to me and what I want to say with it.

wow. if your idea was truly creation and decay, this would be an entirely different piece!
Regardless, it is a visually amazing, technically challenging path
What an amazing experiment! I can see this generating all kinds of new directions. It's reminiscent of the work of Petah Coyne also, check her out.
