how pretty is my m-i-l's tree? i love how it's so eclectic -- mixing whimsical decor with religious icons (angels, churches, crucifixes).
idea! next year, my tree's gonna be totally goth! can't wait!
speaking of religious images, i dropped by fred esquillo's show at tin-aw a few days ago. now here's one artist who likes to use religious images.
this one's quite clever -- it's of a guy in 'cockfight'-stance, with iglesia ni cristo spires towering out of his spine, looking almost like a dinosaur.
this one, entitled 'school of bontoc' depicts a class photo of filipino kids with blinders, mickey mouse ears, etc. under the tutelage of their american teachers.
this one's 'mamackinley' -- with mckinley as the mum and a pinoy (aguinaldo?) as the bebe.
this one's 'siyam siyam' -- siamese twins -- aguinaldo and bonifacio.
these ones, 'cruciformorph 1 & 2', are 2 canvases, weaved like a banig. one is of the crucified christ, while the other an almost naked man/woman. velly clever!
last, this is of himself as a pseudo santo - it's done on rubber.
cool, right? yun lang :)
