For some ideas of what you may do with Sensory Sculptural Seats
Hallucinations on Use
Pyramid Backpack
Beads graze your shoulderblade as they dangle down your back and sparkle from the buckle on your left side. You unclip the pyramid from the backpack – place it on the ground where your palm wants to go and rest your fingertips over its edges. The Earth beneath you is damp and the soft pads of your fingertips greet an evaporating wetness.
Fluid Space Backpack
Strappy bits run down your sternum and spine, connected with o-rings, d-rings and fasteners. This fluid space backpack holds two cone dangles, weighing you down, carabinered to your straps, shifting your sense of gravity. You unclip a cone dangle and use it like a shovel: you are searching.
Body Hammock
Your thigh rests in a double layered body hammock. Attached to the tree above, the straps suspend you partially off the ground. Your other bare foot grips grass between your toes, ripping blades up, one by one.
Astronaut Tunnel Hood
You are hiding inside of a pop up tunnel, available whenever you need it. You are blocking out light, wind and other people. You pop the astronaut tunnel hood over your head and look to the stars: finding your favorite constellation you think – ah there I am.
Astronaut Hood
You put on the astronaut hood to prepare for what comes next.
Sensory Sculptural Seat
You are leaning over a bendy aluminum sensory sculptural seat – on your knees. Your head dangles forward, neck relaxed. As you rock closer to the Earth your nose alights with scent: an unexpected lactonic woody richness.
Fluid Space Sensory Sculptural Seat & Torso Padding
The Goddess Bunny tap dances all over this armour you are wearing on your torso and back. She opens up the fluid space sensory sculptural seat that jingles and jangles with tools, props and supplies for your journey. Your chest & shoulders are warmed and protected by the torso padding holding you snugly.
Dancing Feet Pillow
You were wearing the dancing feet pillow around your arm, supporting you as you leaned against scratchy bark. But now you wrap it around your neck, like a neck pillow making it easy for you to rest and snooze by the river.
Drawstring Bag
Inside the drawstring bag you keep safe a magic rock. It reminds you that time is geologic, we are all stardust and have rock-power: unshakeable.
Pads
You have been digging for three hours, and your Pads are dirty but protecting you. You pull out the third pad once you get to the bottom and rest the bone on it: you found it.
Tool Attachments
Thirteen keys, one water bottle, a package of gems, some st. Johns wort – all dangle from the tool attachments. You stop and sip some water – its coolness tickles your esophagus all the way down to the bottom of your belly.
Protection
You feel like a warrior with the protection around your arms protecting you from the brambles and prickly edges of the bush. You slip it off and relate its form to a nearby branch – your arm, the protection and the branch are the same size.
