Container v.2

So this time is a combination of the 1st and 2nd idea
The idea of containing a living thing yet still nightmarish.

So the materials used would be some bendable plastic sheets? Or perhaps water bottles but those are being used for making boats/storing water for the flood. So I fear there's a scarcity. The reason I want it clear is to see the growth inside.

It'll be made into 'limbs' that can connect into a central 'body'. Both the limbs an body are dotted with holes for future monstrification. A smaller part (I'll call 'fingers') can be attached into the holes.

For this, I'm concentrating on the fact that the doll parts and be removed and rejoined in different ways.

Nextly, a trailing plant will be inserted to grow inside. As it grows, it would come out of the limb/finger openings. This would further the monstrification and horrification of the container. We can control (and contain) the plant by choosing which holes to close and/or to extend with a 'finger'

So this container will contain the plant (and in a way, fear?)

My only concern for it right now is the materials used and whether the plant will grow fast enough. Its hard to travel out of my house for now so I have not had the chance to gather materials.


P.S. Maybe we can try it with hamsters?

  1. It still seems to me that molding would be the best fabrication solution.
    Do you have plaster?
    If not, could you imagine another molding system?
    It would really be fantastic to link this project to your great discovery about the quite monstrous molding processes involved in making this doll.

    Have you seen the reference of fruit-monsters by the way?
