The Cult of the Screaming Key
Remember that Jared Nickerson bloke we featured on the website a while ago? Well, he’s started a new series called “Beauty to Wake the Dead” and this is his latest addition to it. It’s got one of the coolest names art can have. “The Cult of the Screaming Key”. Wonder what goes on inside his mind, eh? With what looks like the devils flail with pyramids attached on its ends and owls the piece captures everything from Harry Potter to The New World Order. The pumpkin like flail has a unique quality to it. You probably wont find that at your local Walmart or Asda. That’s only because something like that would be impossible to create. Probably why Nickerson has only bothered to recreate it on a tee. You can find J. Nickerson on his website.

Why is it always so difficult to remember the dreams that we have during the night? They usually quickly escape out of our minds as if they were sneaking away and hiding the traces. If we could believe that thoughts find materiality then our dreams might have the same shape as well. Where do they disappear? Are they stored somewhere far out of our reach? They can visit our minds several nights in a week and often slip away during our consciousness. Captured Dreams is a collaboration between all Do Plu Do crewmates as an allegoric attempt to visualize the idea of pillow that have the ability to capture and store our dreams. The combined artists behind this project add up to make DoPluDo. They can be found on their website and their flickr pool.
