The power evoked from a work using deformation is different from any other method of artistic conveyance. It catches you often out of the corner of your eye and pulls you in like a fish on a line. It does leave me wondering, though. Where is the line between fine art and art therapy for some of these works? Does an artist have to be a little bit crazy to work this way? Even if it is important for the viewer to be reminded of they physical self, must it be done with deformation? How is this way of working contributing to artistic discourse? Does its power or draw for the viewer end with the visceral reaction?
