It's About Time

Starting point: The Pig

Subtractive. I shaved off the limbs, ears, nose, and tail.

Subtractive. I cut the body of the pig into the shape of a hot dog.

Additive. I painted the hot dog with ink.

Additive. I soaked some of the soap shavings in green, yellow, and brown ink to create relish.

Additive. I scattered unpainted soap shavings to give the look of chopped onions.

Subtractive. I melted the rest of the soap shavings in boiling water.

Additive. I soaked the melted soap in yellow and red ink to give the look of ketchup and mustard.

Additive. I poured the melted soap on to the hot dog to also act as a glue to keep the relish and onions together.

Additive. I wrapped the final piece in cheap tin foil to bring a focus to the coarse way we handle living creatures.
