“The Dog & Pony Show”
The show was quite a success, I’d say. I received lovely feedback, and it was a true delight to see my prints up and framed.
General comments:
- The teeth look like chiclets
- Do the M’s in the eye photograph have any significance?
- I can’t tell you how many women (specifically!) asked me if I’d thought about having fabrics printed…
- No really, have you thought about making a dress out of these? (Yes)
- A lot of people chose a favorite (Always Hair, then you are either an Eye person or a Teeth person, apparently). I find this particularly interesting because folks were imaging them as commodities to put in their homes. The hair was the most home-friendly piece, and the least creepy.
- I should sell my pieces individually to a dentist, an optician, and a hair salon.
- A few folks asked what software I used to generate the pieces. Photoshop, people. Photoshop is the only tool you’ll ever need to manipulate yourself into oblivion.
I was very pleased to see lots of people look at the work from a slight distance, then get very close to an individual piece for a closer examination. Perfect!
