ArtistNow we are inside the Barbershop. I'm watching a young man getting his head buzzed. I have a close, straight-on view of the back of his head. As the Barber carefully edges with the clippers, an image of a face begins to emerge. Is this a tattoo being revealed as the hair is shaved away? Or is the image of the face being created by the barber with the hair and scalp of this kid? At first I can't tell, but as more of the face is revealed, it becomes apparent that the Barber is the artist. I'm very impressed, because the image he is shaving into the back of the young man's head has nearly the detail of a tattoo. The face that emerges is that of a scowling, middle-aged Hispanic man with an impressively thick mustache. He has a thick head of combed-back black hair. He is turned slightly to the viewer's right, although it is closer to a front-view than a side-profile. I wonder if this is intended as a memorial for the man whose image is now on the back on this person's head. If I decide to get a face shaved into the back of my head, whose face will it be?
