With
its soft focus reminiscent of spaceship-sighting
documentation and angular lines, this
beautiful, enigmatic image says at
once "dashed hopes" and "possible alien invasion."
Yet, even
with such serious themes, "Pop Tarts" resonates
with a charming
sense
of coy playfulness, as the blackened tarts
peek coquettishly
in synchronized duality from the toaster, as
if from the multiple-personalities of a more human
tart.
It's easy
to imagine the tarts as two young girls, buckled
into their Toaster-Roadster, and racing towards
a
thrilling
and uncertain
future - one can easily see the sense of forward
motion, from
left to right and imagine gossamer scarves trailing
madly in their wakes.
The BFM
thanks artist Linda Klag for capturing the essence
of this timeless duality and sharing it with our
visitors -- and also for this rare glimpse into
the Pop Art world of tarts.
