Original Face by Diane Cluck
"Original Face" was commissioned by Melodie Provenzano for her exhibition Seeing Oneself in Others at the Nancy Margolis Gallery in NYC in 2020.
The show featured six sculptures by artists Jae Yong Kim, Matthew McCaslin, Shari Mendelson, Michelle Segre, Arthur Simms, and Jeanne Tremel, and the paintings Provenzano made of those sculptures from direct observation.
The song's title is drawn from “Show me your original face before your mother and father were born”--a Zen Koan included in Melodie's notes around the show's theme. (melodieprovenzano.com)
