Alien: Egg silo interior version II (work 388) 1978 by HR Giger references The Oysters with the Walrus and the Carpenter' for Lewis Carroll's Alice Through The Looking Glass (published 1871) by John Tenniel?

leading from Alien: HR Giger's Egg silo interior version II (work 388) 1978

 

 

a) Alien: HR Giger's Egg silo interior version II (work 388) 1978

 

 

 

b) References The Oysters with the Walrus and the Carpenter' for Lewis Carroll's Alice Through The Looking Glass (published 1871) by John Tenniel? 

First thing to note is the idea would be that the oysters became the egg shaped spores, but Giger wasn't putting them anywhere that would conform to the illustration.

d) Giger's painting lacks any bulbous form that might be a trace of the walrus but I'm drawn to think that the spinal columns along the wall might be related to the idea of his tusks
