Monstrous Garden

This year myself and Sarah were asked to create a large central sculpture to be hung between the king poles of the Kaylied tent at Kendal Calling festival 2011.

The theme for the area was the Monstrous Garden, so with that in mind we decided to make a little shop of horrors inspired plant, which would hang down from the center of the tent and spread out over the crowd below.

I was going to blog about the build each day but as usual things got a bit hectic and i forgot.. Here are the pre Kendall build photos:

^Above are the Poly carves we did for the heads of the plant. The blocks measured about 1m square before they were carved down to varying dimensions. The teeth were carved out of blue foam instead of polystyrene as we felt the poly wouldn't be strong enough. They were scrimmed with muslin and flintbond fireproof pva before they were painted.
