By night, Kim Clough from Rochester, Minnesota, is a medical lab scientist.
By day however, she’s a miniaturist who creates amazingly detailed miniature foods that can fit right on your fingertip.
Clough creates creates miniatures of food — anything from fried chicken to perfect chocolate cakes and other desserts.
The artist uses polymer clay to sculpt her miniatures, and every miniature is no bigger than 1:12 of the size of the actual subject.
When sculpting food in 1:12 scale, where one inch equals 12 inches, Clough renders clay sculptures with acute attention to detail when representing their real-life counterparts.
Clay is an ideal medium since it is easily molded into a rendition of edible cuisine that gives an illusion of being able to bite right into it.
Clough’s intricate work is a visual delight, an amazing recreation of everyday foods.
You can find more of Kim Clough’s work on her website, as well as on deviantArt and Instagram.
Oh my! the patience she must have for such small, detail work. Wow.
