SMALL FACES UNBOUND
SMALL FACES UNBOUND The title of this collection comes from the lyric in, The Byrds’ song, “Eight Miles High.” This ripe phrase evokes a range of fantastic imagery; uninhibited children, shrunken heads, unencumbered puppets and marvelous dismemberment to name a few things that popped into my head. Rather than discovering hidden faces or seeing them in inanimate objects (pareidolia), we focused on indelible visages—stark, psychological and philosophical—existential and mythological, some animal, some mysterious and some absurd.
