Additive and Subtractive Soap Art


Additive

















Subtractive
















All of the changes and alterations that I made to my soap carving came from the horrific idea of poaching. I started with my soap lion and the first thing i did was cover it in red paint to represent the blood of all the innocent animals who have been poached for centuries. I then added the spears to represent the poachers of an older time them moved to the holes to represent the gunshot wounds of a modern time. I then proceeded to skin the lion completely and then cut him up into pieces. I then cut up a few pieces further and melted them. I then shaped them into different types of food and painted them to resemble said food. I then put the spear back in the lions head and prepared it to be mounted. 

All of these things are related to the horrific art of poaching and a cry for us to stop hunting and killing these endangered animals for sport.
