This is the first piece out of twelve that I will be making based on the theme of society and how it's always around since day one of your life. For this piece I made it out of clay using molds that contained various baby parts. I had to attach the legs, arms and head to the body. That was a long, fragile process to get the baby to be all connected. The baby head was a bit big so I had to open the body out a little more so the baby didn't look like a bobble head. For the words on the back of the baby I used alphabet soup that burned away in the bisque kiln. I then proceeded to paint the baby a pink color to symbol a girl (me) an to show how innocent a baby is, how clean they are. For the paper boat it is the recurring item that will be seen throughout the project.
