First of all, the colors in this are fantastic. I wonder why the "head" is facing away from us. It's interesting to see a part of a building in full color, like a real human head instead of a gargoyle. What are you thinking, MD? Intersting piece!
i read somewhere that the women who have rings added to their necks...cannot survive without them. that their necks would break. i don't know if that's true or not, but it seems logical.
i think there's great beauty in extremes...(hmmm...and that goes for extremities.)
An African prince, who has lost his head to the modern world, and becomes a trophy on his own world, very extreme. Beautiful work and originality Michael!
Very interesting! I wish you'd written more about this! Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Scott, would love to know what you're thinking is on this piece. Always intriguing.

ReplyDeleteWell, the rain forest won out. One more episode in the desert and it's back to Huckleberry Hollow.
