Seeing Faces Bercowetz / Bua Wood, polystyrene, shish kebab skewers, paper, popsicle sticks, lights, ink, acrylic paint, collage audio, electronics, fabric, glass, foam core, carpet, foam, liquid nails, hot glue, hardware, plastic, wire… 134 x 196 x 125 inches Howard Finster was guided by a face he saw in a drop of paint on his finger tip, a grilled cheese sandwich was sold on eBay due to the virgin Mary's appearance on the bread, demons emerge from flames of burning records, and old men carve their images out of mountain tops. Just as you can find faces on the moon, in wood grain, and in clouds, you can find a conspiracy in every corner you are willing to pry. In this piece, Black helicopters patrol the skies, while tentacles intimidate and design new paths to explore, reaching the outer limits of conspiracy, including the suggestion a reptilian past for the human race. From the Russian boxer who’s facial structure resembles that of a reptile, to images of serpents and dragons running throughout history – represented in various symbols ranging from military patches to health care providers – hints of an alternative evolution crop up throughout history. A special thanks to Ana Cardoza “the girl that saw faces” and to Jimmy Nations for writing the music, playing, and recording our song “Me Man Moon” – (Jimmy Nations: Guitar & Vox / John Light: Steel Guitar & Recording) Song: Me Man Moon |
