Glass Stomach

“Glass Stomach” is an art sculpture/experiment.

It consists of a jar filled with water and select Halloween candy from my Trick-or-Treat excursion:

1/2 an Oreo cookie ®
3 packages of Sour Skittles ®
1 package of M&M’s mini ®
1 package of M&M’s ®
2 packages of Skittles ®
3 Rolo ®
1 Starburst ®
1 piece of Dubble Bubble gum ®
1 box of Hot Tamales ®
1 box of Milk Duds ®

At 9:00 am this morning (November 2, 2006) I inserted my healthy, one year-old Wandering Jew plant into the Glass Stomach.

Check back to track the progress of the sugar-water-submerged plant.

Addendum: The plant lived. The cookies and candy didn’t break down. Eventually the “dust” in the water settled and the water was clear. I finally took the plant out and stuck it in dirt. When I poured out the water, all of the contents of the glass stomach were still whole but for the oreo cookie and the M&M candy shells. So I ate ‘em! (Just kidding. I threw it all down the drain and now it’s in our water supply.)
