My peephole installation. I collaborated with a local business called Fudge Buckets and created something that I feel conveys a lot about that establishment. First off, I sculpted fudge, a first for me, and created a scene within my bucket that reflects what goes on in the store.

Going to the site helped me to get an overall mood for the establishment that I think reflects in my piece. Fudge Buckets is this weird, quirky, family friendly restaurant that likes to serve fudge of various flavors. They also literally serve food in a bucket. According to the owners, keeping the fudge in a tiny plastic bucket keeps it from drying out quickly. Makes sense. As for their other food, the buckets are mainly just there to stick with the theme. I naturally had to use a bucket in my work.
