Perched

This is very much made with the main guiding principle that I try to apply to the things I make, simplicity.

Aside from the pedestal base It is literally just two pieces of wood fastened together, that’s it.

The point of the piece, on the other hand is a little more complex.

I am trying to engage with the observers and invoke the psychological effect known as Pareidolia.  If you’re not familiar with this effect it does have a rather dry definition, but can be loosely described as seeing things that just aren’t there.

Much like truth in politics.  Sounds like it could be true, looks like it could be true, and  possibly it may even feel as though it’s true.  It’s almost certainly going to be a lie and the absolute opposite of what you’re being told.
