Head-Pavilion III
<p>Philip Hanson’s <em>Head Pavilion</em> studies are visible tangents from his <em>Veiled Head</em> (1967) etchings. In these works, he essentially built an architectural body, complete with windows for eyes, rather than simply focusing on the head. Hanson placed a portrait of a small, veiled figure inside the pavilion, revealing an interior that reflects the spectacle of the exterior. <em>Head Pavilion III</em> is a playful contraption: an amusementpark fun house on the brink of mechanical collapse.</p>
