In the realm of the senses
This is a tongue sticking out of the wall.
(L-R) Two oil paintings, Binabawal, Binabanal No. 1 and Binabawal, Binabanal No. 2. Then Looking Glass, a resin breast inside an ornate bronze mirror, with a velvet ribbon.
Dama Naranja, a bronze sculpture with nipples on her scalp and a flotation device around her neck.
Mebuyan Scapulars: Marble scapulars with resin nipples and velvet ribbons.
Sense, Sate: A wall of ears, tongues, noses and nipples multiplied to infinity by a mirror (not in photo). Those are casts of our ears; we don’t know who the other appendages belong to.
Before we could process the visual information we got a walloping headache that we’re going to blame on sensory overload. So we’ll get back to you.
