This piece didn’t stand the test of time, the fabric pods had held really sharp forms that got a bit bashed in the post and gently relaxed over time. I cut them away from the base form , you can see that the sub frame for the pods is quite corset like and it hadn’t given a strong enough support. I replaced it with covered wire that actually gives more of a rib cage. The pods didn’t hang well so I experimented with little strips of weathered cloth, like you see hanging on trees near natural springs, representative of lost souls , t 
I quite like this effect but experimented further by stitching some of the pods in different ways to make them hold the shape more, I felt that the seed pod / fortune cookie held more of the idea of the lyrics from crow on the cradle of ‘somebody’s baby is not coming back’ . Tying one of the pods inside the cage like rib structure felt intrinsically right. I think that a little pool of the dishevelled pods in a pool underneath the hanging form like dropped leaves could be quite powerful.
