DescriptionAt the top of the work is a block of text reading "Illusions: 1. Are the eyebrow lines the same length? 2. Do the inner eye angles appear to be equal? 3. Are the vertical nose lines leveled? 4. Which two horizontal mouth lines are the same lengths?" At the bottom of the image is another block of text with the words “Interfacing with a skeewupus schedule can ben you out of shape. Put things in perspective by phoning in your Fall Registration before the deadline - July 31" The first letter 'I: is implied in a stylized image constrained in a rectangular box immediately before the rest of the work. In the middle of the work is a stylized figure, resembling a face made up of lines that resemble optical illusion. Each feature of the face is numbered - the top resembling eyebrows labelled "1" on the left and right, the two figures resembling eyes each labelled "2", the central nose - like shape labelled "3', and the lowest - resembling a mouth labelled "4".
