PROJECT STATEMENT

Emerging from unknown origins, the Spawn is a curious lifeform in a perpetual state of expansion. Since materializing here on Weitzman grounds, it has spread at an exponential rate and shows no signs of stopping. Although the Spawn’sproperties are alien to us, there are a few similarities that can be drawn to organisms and their behaviors on Earth. Reminiscent of cholla cactus skeletons, the main body is primarily texturized by a mesh of cells that are vaguely quadrilateral in shape. Encompassed in a jacket of purple fur is the Spawn’s shell, which the main body expands and grows out of. The extremities of the body are tinged green, a visual representation of the growth that occurs at those points. The Spawn’s main method of expansion is similar to coral spawning, in which the host releases orb-like spores that are dispersed outwards from the body. These spores then attach themselves to a new surface and begin the cycle once again.
