breakfast in bed

When I was stuck on ideas for my digital sculptures, I looked at my collection of objects and thought of a narrative. As I had many breakfast-related foods, I thought it would be interesting to create a sculpture that shows someone dreaming of breakfast in bed. This is a surreal scene as I tried to show that the sleeper’s thoughts were appearing through the pillow that they are sleeping on. I used the sculpt tool to show an imprint of a face on the pillow, implying that someone is sleeping there. The teddy bear also implies the presence of someone on the pillow, without a person actually being there.

This reminds of a musical jewelry box or a merry-go-round. The teddy bear, flowers and butterflies have a nostalgic, childlike aspect to it especially when it is put together in this way. I like how the separate objects are connected physically, but come together as one body of work. It also has an ethereal, dream-like atmosphere to it, which also ties in with the sculpture above.
I feel like these two sculptures also tie in with the ice sculptures that I created last week. In the ‘breakfast in bed’ sculpture, the food items are confined, and inaccessible as they are growing from the pillow. In the ‘merry-go-round’ sculpture, the objects are all floating. They are released and accessible. The difference between these two sculptures remind me of when the ice melted from the ice sculptures and the objects in them were released from confinement and became usable again.
