The following is the work of Jim F. Faure, known as Jim Skull. He’s used unusual materials to sculpt his offerings, they are all rather visually stimulating, or so myself and the cloud find. Long stringy teeth, a shade of the pulsing Squid in there too. Slightly grotesque, utterly hypnotising.

These skulls arouses suspicion. They seem to be vomiting, seem to be connected with random objects. Yet, in its seemingly obvious features, one knows: there is more to these connections.

‘Suspicion’, that’s made me laugh. They are suspect indeed, but not the usual ones. Strings of theory are floating about your head as you peruse their bony, yet bone-less visages. Something primeval is within. An echo, a mirror.

The skull form insists their humanity – these with an obvious ability to think about what they see. The missing nose disregarding smell in favor of breath to keep these forms among the living. In this incarnation it is the mouth that defines them. Are they what they eat or is it that which flows out that give them their form? Varied as these creatures appear, I get the feeling that they all have a telepathic ability to insist “the eyes are up here.”
Yeah, good art.

It is the mouth yes, the crux, you have pinpointed them with the lance of a butterfly collectors pin, and that is meant to be taken as a compliment for it is carried out with elegance. The strings, the vast amounts of matter pouring forth in waterfalls from within, seem as though silent screams also, or songs. A cacophony of silence heard for miles. ” insists their humanity” – Yes. There is something of the ‘rabbit in the headlights’ feeling when confronted with them. ‘Look into my eyes, bathe in my outpourings, and find yourself….if you dare.‘

I rather saw them as analogous to the human interior, with the drooping appendages being the many tendrils of our nervous system linking up to the central cranial processor. One can imagine them animated quite easily I think – brought to life, so to speak. Excellent work, and thankyou Esme.

This is true also, as though the rest of the body has been removed, leaving only said nervous system left exposed to the world. Which suddenly makes them seem quite vulnerable to me. Thank you for that Hariod, I’m looking at them again now, and enjoying the view. I instantly saw them moving when first I found them actually. Like squids, as though floating in water.
