The den will most likely be quilts over a wire frame, the outside treated (with paint?) to look like rock and dirt, evoking animal-made safe space. The inside will still be quilts, evoking human-made safe space.

What is still up in the air is the speakers idea.
My main idea is to create an animal den, something that the viewer/participant has to crawl into (or otherwise change their body shape in which to enter).
The den will be created to be a safe space, as it will have one entrance/exit. It will also incorporate more than one sense in that it will be more of an experience than just looking at something. One can look at it, but one can also enter it, and the experience will be "fleshed out" in that I'm planning on concealing speakers inside that will play nature sounds and other white noise.
I'd like to place this by the mass of forsythia by Monty, close enought that the forsythia become part of the work by overlapping it.
Coming soon:
