Why, Yes.

Yes, that is a disembodied doll head in that picture* behind me.



Well, I didn't buy it.

*It is one of a series of photos taken by New Mexican artist Molly Geissman at the state's infamous "Old Main" state prison, the scene of a violent riot in 1980. The prison closed in 1998, the photo taken some time after that. My mom bought this way before me and said it was so creepily attracting that she couldn't resist.

I'm hoping that's not the same reason for my being here.

  5. MOL, my human has similar taste in arty things. Some of what she and her boyfriend have hanging on their walls is pretty creepy too.

  7. Several ghost-hunter shows have been to that prison, Ivan...I've seen more than my share of that creepy place! But, I know the feeling when a piece of art jumps out at you, and you must have it. It's a human thing...
