Hunched forward in a fetal-like position, his phallus dangling like an animal's, he could be rocking back and forth in contemplation, anger, misery, or contentment. A spiky animal head rests atop his skull, or is it protruding and growing out from his own head? Is this a terrifying nightmare or allegorical dreamscape? The mystery is one of many that artist
