THE BAKER'S PLACE

June 2021 (year 2, term 3 & 4)

In this project the characters described in the book: "The Lancester/Hanover masque" by John Hejduk were given as inspiration. I was given "The baker's place".

"The Baker. His favourite work is to make Charlotte-Russes and Apple Sticks, whole apples dipped in candy syrup which hardens to a glaze around the apple. In one case the consumer uses his lips; he sucks the cream. In the other case the consumer uses his teeth; he bites into the hardened glaze. The Baker is also the Dentist. His hands are like those of a raccoon. He periodically dips his hands into a bowl of water."

The location for our designs (9 different characters) was also set: the gardens of the abby 'Klooster Wittem'.
