You see a black-and-white photo of a woman’s mouth. Her lips are deeply lined. Next to it sits a photo of ancient Greek statue parts. The lips and statue parts sit side by side. This makes you compare living age with carved youth. The photos ask quiet questions. They pair a grandmother’s mouth with the smooth curves of a kouros. It’s a contrast of living voice and silent stone. See this next. Look up Hains, Raymond (1926-2005).
