PINHOLE

GRAPHY
Unfunky kind of U.F.O.
These sculptural pinhole cameras are fully functional. Their innards are built from whatever I have lying around that gets the job done (e.g. newspaper, wood, wire, foam). I use a technique that I learned & tweaked many years ago to give them a final 'skin' that consists of paper towels and white glue.
​
The concept is 'we see what the creature sees' which means the image is captured through the alien's eye. And the camera itself usually becomes part of the final image.
​
Why only one eye? Because that's all that's needed.
