Womb to Move: the Final Product
Some photos of the completed Womb to Move project. Poor light inside the womb chamber made the photos particularly grainy so some of the colours and exposure have been altered to make the interior elements more visible. In addition to the textural comforts of the chamber, womb visitors were also treated to the aural delights of a quietly trickling water feature and the soothing tones of smooth jazz played from speakers hidden within the sink unit.

Port-A-Womb in Progress (cont.)
Some photos of the work close to completion...By this stage of the construction my neck and back were constantly aching from craning to hand stitch the fabric bunches to the chamber's ceiling.
I also decided to add a gloriously tacky water feature, referencing the ambience of waiting rooms and hotel/nightclub bathrooms. Bought from Kmart for a steal at $12, I covered the original beige plastic structure with soft pink paint and several coats of glitter paint to finish it off. Truly hideous result.

Interior
More progress shots of the ceiling and general interior of the Port-A-Womb. Materials used include various fabrics from Reverse Garbage and Remnant Warehouse, industrial sized-toilet paper roll cylinders, carpet filler, floristry tape and lots of thread.
Womb Improved
Some photos of the Port-A-Womb interior and exterior. Fairy lights, coloured gels and several lamps were added to the interior to provide ambient lighting. The toilet seat was ripped up and replaced with a faux pearl embroidered pale pink stretch sheath with a red light bulb at the base. Thus, when the womb occupant opened the toilet seat to sit down they would be greeted with the splendid vision of a hidden glowing cavity.
Womb in Progress
More photos of the Port-A-Womb in its gestation period. After scouring the scum off the portaloo shell I spent an age removing battered grills, countless rivets and a very dilapidated front door. To make the loo less disgusting in appearance and association, I painted to outer shell an amicable shade of pink. Then it was time to pad the interior with found lengths of mattress foam.
