The “Church of Quantum Interconnectedness” is a new religious organization started by (of course) Californian artist, Corey Smilth . This faux new-age inspired religion is based on his sculptural piece called the “Personal Pyramid” a healing device in which participants are invited to interact with.  They are given only one instruction; the Personal Pyramid slogan “Let the Healing Begin”. It works especially well if you like green. And asymmetrical bathing suits.

Screen Shot 2014-03-28 at 8.53.12 AMThroughout the 1950’s, 60’s, and early 70’s, Ralph Eugene Meatyard created a series of photographs titled “The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater” in which he photographed his wife wearing an old hag’s mask in the role of Lucybelle Crater, along with other Meatyard family members and friends who are also wearing masks. The resulting images are both comical and grotesque with an underlying strangeness that is visually intriguing.
