The project for this was to create an imaginary creature in a creative space. I created a toad with hands (mostly because toads are darling and The Cat with Hands is one of the best short films of all time). It also has owl wings. Owls are my favorite animal, not for any symbolic reason, but because owls are utterly delightful in every way.
The space is made of tea, painted like a forest, and through the forest are various quotes from literature, poetry, pop culture, and even the alphabet. I wanted it to be like the echoes of words in an unreal wood. In fairytales, the heroes have to go through the woods to find the treasure, defeat the monster, or find true love. I’d like to think my toad can facilitate this in some way, but I’m sure he asks all kinds of riddles and speaks on code, and so would be a very bothersome kind of fairy guide.
