The big question was how to apply the paint and seaweed layers to a canvas. I wanted to make something three dimensional and considered cutting up the paint into strips and weaving them into a crazy shaped basket. But it seemed like cutting up a layer of paint would violate the unit's integrity. I wanted to apply 100 layers, not 1000 strips of paint. So I settled on making each layer into a small three dimensional shape and then stacking them together into a big pile on a canvas. Most of the shapes were cones, with a few rolls and hat/boat shapes thrown in.
