Silicone caulk art?

I was checking out some fiber arts and other crafts online.

This one lady made sculptures, and they were apparently made from silicone caulk? or at least, partly made from it.

What kind of materials would one need to get into this kind of sculpting?

And where can I go to learn more? websites? books?

Does this also involve any other sort of sculpting? Paper mache or something like that?

it’s only the hair, look at it, it’s transparent.
Actually it would be possible doing the whole body using silicone caulk in a mold (silicone caulking can be used making molds, so you can also use it as sculpture material itself).
But that’s however not going to be very durable. Silicone rubber degrades with time, depending on amount of UV and heat exposure and handling how fast. Also it does seem to depend on the kind. I have some silicone molds which held up for a couple of years now, but some others started ripping after less than one year.
Generally I get the impression you want to look into doll making books.
