6″ Apple Cherry Pie
Handsculpted and handpained with edible oil paints

This pie was created in collaboration with Cr34te.tur3 (she/ her/ they/ them)- I’m grateful for their generosity in sharing their images to use for my art making. Here are the words that she wanted to share with the finished art:
“I’m sure like many vulva owners, In school I felt ashamed and embarrassed about my body, in particular my wonky labia and the mole on the outside of my Vulva. I tried cutting the mole off a few times when I was younger… it obviously it didn’t work. I believe this was because of the lack of education and the toxic culture of girls shaming girls, most likely because they felt ashamed themselves. Through the practice of nudity, open communication, and the luck of some amazing friends and lovers, I feel more comfortable now than I have my whole life. Pies in the window is an awesome platform for educating and celebrating female anatomy and when I discovered it I was totally hyped! My partner said it made him cringe. But knowing that there is a community and there are creators in the world who appreciate the natural beauty and variety of vulvas helps me to maintain my healthy relationship with myself. So thank you! 🤍”
This is a 6″, made from scratch apple cherry pie. The art is hand sculpted and hand painted using edible oil paints.
“The creation of something beautiful, something with eternal themes that can not be eradicated or even substantially diminished by the woes of the world, is in itself an act of resistance and defiance. It becomes a monument to survival.” – Elizabeth Miller (from blog post When Creating Beauty is an Act of Defiance – @ parrishouse)

Baked Pie 91
This time I was very happy with the baking of the 6 pies in this batch! I believe waiting longer between finishing them and baking them allows the crust to sort of cure so that the heat doesn’t cause distortion or moving pieces.
