Triffid II

"As performance and theatre are intrinsic to his oeuvre, he appeared, not as himself, but as a compelling persona, costumed in colours of the underground or decomposition: brownish leather jacket with tendril-like tassels, a heavily cosmeticized face including black-lined lips, eyes covered with a mesh veil of intricate design, his hair arranged in the style of corn rows, one leather gloved hand deep inside the elaborate hand puppet of a silvery, threatening triffid head. The free hand wielded what looked like a riding crop, at least a tool to tame the savage beast within."
