“Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t”, 77h x 100 w cm
Some say the devil is a man in red, living underground in the fiery pits of hell waiting to cast judgement on the sinners of the world. Others say he can be found in a cornfield in Nebraska, looking to make deals with innocent travellers.
But to me the devils are hiding behind smiles telling you what you want to hear, only to manipulate and scheme and throw you away when they’re done with you.
I find the devils hide in fancy suits, they present themselves as genuine and cast away those who truly care just to get a piece of you.
I’ve seen the devil, and the devils sees me, but I’d rather devil I know, than the devil I don’t.
This work portrays what are normally considered stereotypical demonic forms hiding behind human faces, however the more they are observed the more these forms give off a friendly welcoming feeling despite their initially grotesque portrayal. On the inverse the human faces initially are seen as normal but with further inspection evoke a sense of uncanny valley feeling of unease.
The uncanny valley being a hypothesized relation between an object's degree of resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to the object.
This work plays within the uncanny valley evoking reactions in both the positive and negative aspects
