A closeup of the tip of the tentacle-like sculpture showing the crochet work attached to its bony pink appendages like a spiders legs. It looks like it is weaving the crochet doily from thread being extruded from the centre of the bony pink claw. IN this photo you can better see that the appendages are painted with a soft latex skin. There is dry grass in the background.

A closeup of the base of the leaflike creature sculpture on a background of brown dry grass. The base is half of a raw wood log with a flat top and the bark still attached to the outside. The creature sculpture appears to be growing on or out of the centre of the top of the log, yellow-orange latex oozes down from the thin bony stem like a slime mold.

A creature sculpture sits on a Bournemouth headland of scrubby partially dry grass with a big dark pine-like tree behind it. The creature in the centre of the photo is a delicate fleshy stem covered in a latex skin through which you can see a wire spine, it curves halfway up into a broad round leaflike semi-transparent structure, then continues straight upwards into a small, spoon-shaped 'head' with 5 long thin antennae pointing to the sky. From the tips of the antennae are cotton threads that are being caught by a gentle breeze and blowing out to the left side of the photo.

Four creature sculptures sit on a scrubby piece of Bournemouth headland with dry brown grass and windswept coastal trees behind them, they are on a circle of concrete which is overgrown by grass around the edges. The creature on the back right looks like a fleshy pink tentacle reaching up out of the ground like a plant growing towards the sky. It ends in a bony pink appendages like a spiders legs, which appear to be weaving a crochet doily from thread that looks like its being extruded from the centre of the bony pink claw. The creature in the back left of the group is a delicate fleshy stem attached to a raw wood log base like it is growing from the wood. Its stem is covered in a latex skin through which you can see a wire spine, it curves halfway up into a broad round leaflike semi-transparent structure, then continues straight upwards into a small, spoon-shaped 'head' with 5 long thin antennae pointing to the sky. From the tips of the antennae are cotton threads that are being caught by a gentle breeze and blowing out to the left side of the photo. Two smaller creatures sit in the front. On the left an orange-brown latex creature shaped like an upturned bowl, covered in veins and peeking out from underneath it are loops of brown natural twine that has been crocheted into a lace trim, it looks a bit like a strange gelatinous barnacle. On the right in front of the tentacle creature is a flat, yellowish latex creature that looks like it is growing on a round
white crochet tablecloth, the latex is fused with the fibres of the cloth and the creature is veiny and has a lump in the middle which looks like a heart or a brain. Like a slimy mold splat that has grown outwards from the center of the cloth.

A limb juts out from the side of a dark brown pine tree at a 90 degree angle. Draped over the limb is the tablecloth creature. A flat, yellowish latex creature that looks like it is growing on a round

A closeup of the tablecloth creature draped over scrubby dark green coastal plants showing the delicate white lace structure of the crochet tablecloth fused to the yellow, veiny latex skin of the creature sculpture.

A closeup of the edge of the creature that is shaped like an upturned bowl, it has been hung off a tree branch and is looking very limpet-like. The closeup shows the crocheted twine lace trim that is fused to the edge of the creature like the rippling edge of a cuttlefish and you can see how the latex veins wrap and bind with the twin to make it look like a part of one creature.

A closeup of the upturned bowl creature shows daylight shining through the thick brown latex, highlighting a circle of thick brown vein structures that extend from the middle of the creature outwards towards the edges.
