How does my human influence manifest on a controlled, repeatable visual level? i.e. can I control the look (structure, color, movement)? | How does my human influence manifest on a controlled, repeatable visual level? i.e. can I control the look (structure, color, movement)? | ||

This investigates the question to which degree my human influence can manifest on a repeatable visual level within the petri-dish environment. In a second step the control over the appearance will need to be transplanted to the sculpture. | This investigates the question to which degree my human influence can manifest on a repeatable visual level within the petri-dish environment.

The sculpture will be between 1m - 1.5 m in length, a preferred radius might be 10cm. | |||
In a first step, I will collect thick tree branches from the woods or tree fellings (as already decaying wood gives a different impression from freshly cut wood of still vital and growing trees). A tree structures suitability is based on whether there are visual similarities to the human body, features like creases, folds, scars, impressions of muscle or bone, an elbow, a collarbone etc. | |||
From these structures I will create molds and cast the objects in wax. The final impression should invoke a corporal association, which is disfigured by letting Physarum polychefalum crawl, spread and live or 'die' on top of it. | |||
