Geek Love.

I love the surreal, the fantastic, the imaginary. I love those things of beauty, love and longing. I love the look from the outside in and the solitary. I read a novel a few years ago entitled Geek Love by Katherine Dunn. I was pleasantly reminded of the eerie, yet lovely tale of a family of side-show freaks when I came across a collection of artwork by The Black Apple. Lost On The Midway includes acrylic on canvas and acrylic on wood plaque paintings, along with a handful of dolls and a few pencil sketches depicting the faces of an imaginary circus. It truly captures whimsy with a touch of grim, giving a view into a world almost lost. The traveling circus, how I wish to go one day!

Short and sweet. Bemuse and enjoy!

Love.
