I created this work after imagining what might be on the menu in a vampire café. I substituted soy sauce for blood. The seaweed is made using acrylic paint on crumpled cartridge paper, giving it a shiny effect. The eyeballs are made from polymer clay and the veins are wool. I was inspired by the artist Lindsey Mendick and my sculpture is an exploration of anatomy through surrealism.
