The Attendant

The Attendant, Edition of 8 + 2 AP

Weave on weave, one face divided down its axis. On one side the eye, brow and raised bridge of the nose are built up from the cane itself. On the other, the features give way to a curved field of vertical ribs, as if shuttered. The mouth sits on the line between them and belongs to neither. The head turns outward on a flared neck that curves from the wall, and its open-woven back lets the light through the cane. It is a lamp in function, but what it presents is a face that shows one half of itself and withholds the other.
