Geoffrey Farmer, The camera is held this way, because, that is its special quality. Flying erase head, is a term that can be used for both the activity of the camera, and the box head of Picasso’s sculpture. The head has been erased. The ear carved into it is flying and is not the only thing that makes it a head. Two button eyes like the buttons on the jacket worn by the man with a cane. The eyes are open and not closed like the ones above. The paws perfectly keep the heads here, where I want them, my enemies are now my friends and they are also my throne., 2014, douglas fir pole, 6 photographs mounted on foamcore, 178 x 4 x 4 in.
