This is one of my favorites I’ve made. I was inspired by Justin Quinnell’s photography for this short. I made the mouth out of a plastic container that I cut the bottom off of, resin teeth, hot glue and crayola model magic in white. The cereal is real cereal and resin and the lunch food is obviously and cartoonishly fake, but you may notice the the milk carton has Evan Hughes’ missing picture from my Kill Streak project!

I don’t care for the title, but I couldn’t think of something else.
You might have noticed that cannibalism is a theme I use a lot in my art. I began dealing with OCD in 2020, and there was a day I became paranoid that people thought I was a cannibal on the grounds of nothing, so that experience has inspired that in me. Additionally, I’ve always been curious about it.
The “meat” the main character, played by photographer Mallory Barry, was made of fake blood and gummies bears I had mixed in water when I melted them. Originally, I wanted there to be an instestine, but it didn’t work out, which is something I’m familiar with as a person who mostly experiments when I’m making my projects.

I had nothing profound to say with this one; I only thought it would be cool to see if I was capable of creating this beached girl at home. Ultimately, it was possible! I created this video on my driveway using a deflated kiddie pool, 150 pounds of sand, plants I picked from a nearby trail and my water hose! The waves were created by lifting the back of the deflated pool in order to propel the water forward.

This one is a little bit ridiculous, but my mom and her siblings were going to sell their dad’s house, so I wanted to squeeze some shooting in because it’s such a nice house. I don’t hate it, but I wish I’d had more time to come up with the thing coming from his throat instead of the boring black rope I bought from a certain bigbox store.

The only reason this made it on here is because of the body. Otherwise, I’m not that happy with the result.
After several attempts to use this dead body prop in a set, this is what I ended up with. I’m not crazy about it, but I’m still proud of the body!
This little guy’s core was made of tinfoil! I made his hands from polymer clay, but his head was made out of crayola model magic (which is why he looks ridiculous, but you do what you can with what you have).
