ReSearch & Destory: First Destruction

Dried Apple Sculpture.

Dried the apple sculpture in an oven. Became wrinkled and "cliff-faced." Reminded me very much of the shrunken heads I had seen on Ripley's as a child. Decided against painting and added hair with thread and torn denim fabric.

Carved Apple.

Plan on drying the apple; the hollow insides aid in drying. Then, either charring the surface and adding more fruit pieces for another sculpture, or spraying with matte fixative to prepare for painting.
