The Nasher Sculpture Center- the term Pareidolia.


We were in Dallas for a very special wedding, and managed to squeeze in the “First Sculpture, handaxe to figure stone” exhibit at the Nasher Sculpture Center. I came away with a new term that applies to my “peace pigeon project.” I was not aware that there was a term for seeing shapes or make pictures out of randomness.

Below are three examples of pareidolia faces in the early handaxes that stood out.
