I began collecting the ends of toilet paper rolls about 4 years ago. I usually read or do a sudoku on the toilet but this particular time I did not have anything and I needed to stay on the toilet longer, anyways I grabbed the end the roll instead of putting it on the shelf behind, I started to fold the top into itself and try to squish down as many folds as I could so it can't move the thin cardboard anymore.
These shapes create an anus-like shape which I absolutely love. I really enjoy how it directly relates to bodily functions and shares such a strong and uncanny resemblance to an anus also the top of tooth. I like how each toilet paper roll is different, and that the same process of folding provides such a variety of folds, creases, gaps, cavities, pinches, pressure and relaxed points.
I have called this collection Toilet Verbs, as a way to categorise each roll and action that is associated whilst being on the toilet.
