This piece of art is contained in a box. There is a figure with a red pom-pom head and wooden glasses, and a body made of red pipe cleaner and maple leaf patterned paper. The figure stands on top of a tree at the centre of the box, made out of green leafy fabric and cardboard. There is a rope glued to the tree trunk. The tree is partially surrounded by smooth blue material and three hearts drawn in marker. There is a patch of patterned paper made to resemble soil. Two pairs of popsicle sticks stick out from the soil. A pair of short cardboard staircases sit to the side.
Okay, this is quite a big box. It extends out. It covers my whole legs and my whole lap. It feels like a styrofoam box. It's open, there's no lid. And if I feel inside of it, there is, I think this is the person, but it's kind of over to, it's fallen over to one side, I guess. Yeah, it's a person with pipe cleaner arms that feel nice, like pipe cleaners. And the paper body, it feels soft, soft, kind of like a tube. And the pom pom head is kind of round, and a bit soft too. And the body. Now I feel at the bottom, kind of leaves and things like that that feel kind of smooth. And in the very bottom is like wrapping paper feeling material. And I feel two popsicle sticks on either side of the figure sticking up out of the wrapping paper type material. And I feel over on the right side, cardboard staircase, two of them. So as if people could climb up there if they wanted to get out of the box. And there's also a string. There's string that's moving, feels nice, kind of very fibrous string, so a little bit like rope, but very very thin rope. So you can feel the, the fiber sticking out of the, of the string.
