Carve two forms from life (a small, plastic animal) using soap as your medium. Observe and depict proportions. Apply concepts of time to one of your carvings so that the form no longer represents your chosen animal. Use the same animal for both forms.
Now the original idea for my turtle was influenced by a Native American myth about how a woman fell from the sky on a turtles back which was the Earth.
After placing in boiling water for a few seconds.
Blades of grass stuck into the turtles shell.
Green and brown crayons were melted over the turtle.
After the crayons.
Holes were twisted through his shell and filled with red food coloring.
Bottom half is soaked in water, the red food coloring washed off into the water.
With a lighter i burned him, his head and two legs fell off.
The aftermath of the burning.
I then smooshed him into a ball.
Cut holes and placed dried rose petals around the turtle.
And from death and destruction springs new life
All three together
