This item is from the same seller as yesterday’s Guess This Mess! and I’m not quite sure what to make of it either.
I’m usually pretty good at coming up with something to say about the items that are submitted to us… but this artist seller has really left me speechless, so here. This is what *they* say about it:
This Art Installation conjures up thoughts of physical and mental restraint. Made from stained Industrial Elastic and metal hardware from women’s undergarments.
Conjures up thoughts of physical and mental restraint?
Um. Yes.
Physical and mental restraint.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
And! I’m not revealing the source just yet because I want you to continue to Guess This Mess! because your comments are HILARIOUS! The answer as well as the source will be revealed this afternoon so you too can get your hands on some of this awesomeness!!

Mental? – Definitely.
Restraint? – Not really.

it is a pile of rubber bands. I can make better art with my feet

Apparently if you call it art you can charge $3500 for it. Ridiculous!

Seriously? What are you to do with it? Airlift walrus’ ?

Physical and mental restraint…………… made from old, unused, bra parts.

Someone please tell me WTF stained industrial elastic is, and why the heck it is stained. Who also is high enough on a Wednesday night to think to add the metal bra pieces to it?
Oh, yeah, my ex brother in law!

The only restraint is making sure that my barf doesn’t stain the industrial elastic.

It does make me think of mental and physical restraint. As in “The ‘artist’ should be put in physical restraints and taken to a mental facility”
That’s what they were getting at, right?

It looks like remnants of straitjackets, clearly whoever made should have been wearing one

Please don’t keep us in suspense any longer, show us the source of these …er, creations?

I think I’m seeing old clinical gauze and some sort of stain on them…
Maybe zombie bandages?

I feel like even my 3D Design professor would have been disgusted by this.
