I'm working on the "void" and trying to imagine it as a womb (which is another commonly used word to describe the uterus) and explore the whole new set of implications it carries. I think the "womb" carries the kind of natural, life-giving, reproducing connotation I have been searching for. The point of the "void" is that it's only significance is reproduction and without an embryo it ceases to exist as a useful organ. The "womb" contributes nicely to this idea.
I've been picturing this womb as a very natural-looking organ. Images of birds nests have been circulating a little, also the idea that instead of the very graphic black whole that I have been using to picture the void, the womb would be more three dimensional. I'm not sure if that would defeat the graphic imagery I've been working with? Anyways, here is a digital and drawn sketch of this new potential "womb"...
