Bottom of the food chain, mini beasts turn maxi beast in the form of ambiguously
insectile creatures taking a playful stance on stereotypical gender associations and
the blurry lines in between.
Pillar, caterpillar-esque object stands tall and proud. Its predominantly solid body
made from cooking pots, its antennae made from brittle blown glass phalluses.
On the lookout and firm, but easily broken.
Irk, resembles a bed bug presenting itself on a lectern stand. On show and available.
Cock-tail picks inserted into its body, covered with rice grains ready to be boiled
in the cooking pots of Pillar.
Understated and in the background, a small creature framed on a TV stand,
Buzz watches over neutrally.
