If We Could Eat Shame Like Candy by Nicole Bricker is a freestanding sculpture measuring 2 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, similar in size to a paperback book laid flat. The piece is cast in plaster and features a chalky white exterior with a gold leaf-lined interior. It takes the form of a traditional candy dish, reminiscent of those found on a grandmother’s coffee table. Inside the dish are plaster castings of the artist’s fingers, rendered with hyper-realistic detail, each line and crease clearly visible. Surrounding the fingers are plaster flowers that resemble delicate sugar roses typically found on decorative cakes. The dish and floral elements have a smooth finish, contrasting with the lifelike texture of the fingers.
