Let's not lose our heads

So we know my child Oculus.
He has an eyeball for a head and an amazing sense of style; I've had a look into characters with objects fo heads.

The first thing I looked into was the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, famous for his still life portraits.




Then I took to the internet and found an artist named Andy Vible who, in 2012, created a series of sculptures of people with objects instead of heads.





I'm trying to find significance in the "object-head", but it's suprisingly tricky to find things.
It coul possibly allude to yanonimit, or lack of humanity.  Perhaps a represenation of one's deeper self. The ego.

I will be looking into Freud's study on the ego, obvs. But for now I'd like to collect a series of interesting images and illustrations that I have found one the web.
Lets dive in!

A lot of the characters I found had mostly electronic devices like TVs and radios.


But also, understandibly, a lot of chracters with round or spherical heads.


 

Also a lot of other stuff too.




Footnote - all these images are google serched, but the images I'll use in the CRS will be fully refrenced and credited.

I have yet to ind any eyeball characters, which I'm sure I will soon.
For now, I'll keep a lookout for other works.
