Pie 98
6″ Cherry Berry Pie
Hand sculpted and painted with edible oil paints
Original Text from Instagram Post
This is Pie 98 – a made from scratch, Cherry Berry Pie with hand sculpted, hand painted details. To see the baked version please check out the link to my website in my profile.
This art was made in collaboration with Risa/ @redivivusbirthkeeper – She graciously shared images and their story with me and waited so kindly over the years for me to finish. These images were used for reference in Pie 98 and again for Pie 105!
These are the words they first shared with me in 2023: “As a Birth worker & full spectrum doula, vulva artist myself, I crave a world where our genitals can be seen and loved exactly in the unique ways they are. I started a ‘self love’ project after giving birth to 3 kids. Each pregnancy & delivery experience altered my body. Sometimes our bodies are also changed by others (doctors, nurses, trauma) it was my goal to even share my own genitals and the great changes our bodies go through. How we are all still sweet as pie ✨. “
YES! We go through so much on our way through this life. Self-love and love for each other is all we have to give us the strength to keep going. I am deeply honored to share this art with you and to be trusted to collaborate on this with Risa. I will share their updated words with Pie 105.
Thank you for being here! #piesinthewindow #selflove #myart #reliefsculpture #figureart
