Your Face Looks Like an Island
The world of art-making can be a lonely, desolate place. Sacha Eckes and Porous Walker's, "Your Face Looks Like an Island" explores ideas of being stranded and set adrift within a different reality.
Sacha works with figurative elements which "contain the chaos and energy that is her unbridled creative flow. It is as if everything is contained within line and cells that create whole new dimensions. The amorphous shapes created within these lines contain a universe, an island of characters, fragments of figures and gestures".
Porous has chosen to take a more literal approach by creating a three dimensional island and posting drawings from his "owltooth" series around the island. Clever dialog and proto-juvenile figures centered on the mystery and witticism of the sexes and fortune abound in Porous Walker's works.
Artist Biographies
Sacha Eckes
Sacha Eckes was born and pretty much raised in Belgium.

Her single panel comic "Life is Good", has been published in the San Francisco Chronicle on a weekly basis since February of 2006.
Porous Walker
I was raised in St. Louis and left for San Francisco in 1998, married a beautiful accepting woman and began going to art school in SF. Moved into a small old navy lifeboat in the Sausalito Bay and was visited by the Ghost of Shel Silverstein, who encouraged me to change my name and to drive 1 hour north to get a job with Francis Ford Coppola at his Estate and Winery. Working in his Visual Arts Dept. Traveling to Central America and other far reaching corners of the globe doing all kinds of great design work and installation under the direction of this legendary American innovator and his wife Eleanor, generated a new passion and drive for experimenting with my own mind and art, which has led me to where I am today which I can't say for sure. That is, probably fired.
