room of mouths
Last night I had the opportunity to help artist Eric Mcgehearty unload and begin to set up his very creative masterpiece. At first, I was caught off guard because all I saw were large square white boards with mouths randomly protruding out of them. I had no idea where he was going with this, but soon discovered the concept once he started to explain. All the boards were going to be laying flat with the mouths sticking up so that the visitors will feel as if they are stepping all over someones face. The goal is that each person will feel uncomfortable when they first enter the room because no one should be at ease walking on a face. He also has several pieces with mouths on the wall, some of them being brightly colored which adds to the almost completely white room. It will be very interesting to see the overall reaction of those who visit.
