Conjuring up stirrings of unease by mixing pareidolia with anthropomorphism

OREGON CITY, Ore. - EntSun -- The Imperfecta gallery is proud to present "Pareidolia and Anthropomorphism," an art doll exhibit featuring UK-based artist LittleSwimminMachine (Francesca Loi).

This artshow was originally inspired by the artist's fascination with the concept of Pareidolia: the human tendency to perceive faces in nature's random patterns (even when none actually exist). Such a fascination led her to an exploration of the anthropomorphic - the attribution of human form and character to non-human entities - with the ultimate goal of blurring the boundary between reality and imagination.

Loi has once again chosen to work with multiple materials, blending diverse textures, styles, and human features as a means of merging the "typical" with the strange. In doing this, she hopes to have conjured up stirrings of unease.

The show debuts at the Imperfecta Gallery on November 8 with an opening reception between 5 and 7pm and runs through November 29.
