My “material cannibalism” heads/non-heads are paintings
that form themselves: just add water, fluffed with a fork. Or,
mustached entities speckled with fuzzy external greasethick
brains, huge facial scabs, bulging eyeball-like masses,
various bumps, lumps, and skids, gaping holes forming and
deforming with mysterious pockets of vaporous nothingness.
They are decapitated hermaphroditic frog-things drowned
in pharmaceutical drenched bacteria-free pond scum and
radioactive toxic schlock. They are three-tongued flies nesting in
the hollowed-out eye sockets of a once-swollen, now blown-out
lungfish. They are many other things. Often, their replacement
paint-skin resembles a hair-mist. They are not ashamed to
expose their prolapsed throats.
