"Like much of his work, the portrait is immediately striking, if only because of the apparatus covering the mouth. I don't think of it as an addition or piece of costume, but as an inextricable feature of the face, regardless of the fact that I suspect it can be removed, and simply hang on a chain from the neck like a jewel. In fact a second "mouth" does just that in the portrait. The man is both an unfamiliar creature and a familiar human being."
~ Kenneth Radu (Fungible Beauty)
