'Stoned Face' once again have turned to the issue of humor in art.......as can be noticed, this is a multiple play on words, with the whole/hole the most obvious, as well as in turn several meanings of the respective words.. as to how this one came about, the original notion involved using a keyhole, from within to view the scene - but, of course, the keyhole is WAY too small for such...so thought of a giant's keyhole - but that was too fantasy-ful....so thought of a peephole, with highly decorated wrought iron...... but thought that too boring, even with the decoration.... so - why not a stone giant's head, mouth open, suggestive in itself of several meanings... the 'magic mirror' so to speak, of fairyland..... the leer being the 'base' attitude expected of such a being, even as the humorousness of the face showing the laughing, as it were, of the leering notion itself... as is also noted, this is another in the split black/white-color that was seen in 'the garden' for instance......
