Grandma Cyclops

Grandma Cyclops, the companion piece to our earlier Grandpa Cyclops collaboration with Mark Mothersbaugh, is an edition of ink-and-gouache stained intaglio prints, each encased in a hand-cast, antiqued resin frame beneath convex glass. Each print has been signed and numbered by Mark, and the frame comes backed with a laser-cut piece of steel to facilitate either hanging on a wall or displaying on a flat surface.

Grandma knew that if you were patient, good times would always curdle up. She was the oldest in a fluctuating family of 17 siblings, and had seen life at its harshest, and known it to be like chewing on rancid beef jerky. She was of a generation for whom pleasures like bathing without clothing would never occur, for some omnipotently randy deity always had his eyes on you, and that would be too much for the fabric of life to bear. As grandma would say, “I was born a Cyclops, and I’m gonna die a Cyclops, pass the coon gravy to yer lil’ sister.” (more)
