Mirroring the strange

Here is a good example of what mirroring does to my already already strange creations.


From the fish baby series seen in the last post.  First: #19 more or less as it was when originally scanned. As I did 21 total of this type: a folded baby's head with a combination of fish eyes/parts ... I had pretty much exhausted the more odd/creative/spontaneous options.
So by this time was matching up the most obvious face like elements... still effective though.


You can see the tape used to pin the thing down... above the ear on the white triangle. 

#19

Mirrored in the obvious way... to create a creature with two eyes.  Cropped here so the shoulders are less prominent as well as in landscape rather than portrait mode.. which also widens the head.

Now mirrored the other way... a whole freakier kind of beast.  While you lose a mouth.. while gaining an eye in the image above the loss of eyes, the double nose, a hungry set of fang like teeth... create a very different impact below.
