leading from
a) 'Deathbirth machine II' (work 342) in 1977 by HR Giger
b) The marine shop from Hergé's "The Adventures of Tintin and Red Rackham's Treasure" (1944)
c) The shop owners face next to the face of the effigy becomes a skeletal head imbedded into the back of a woman's head.
The
fish's eye become a eye like form for a monstrous face in front of the
woman's face, its mouth becomes a mandible beneath the monstrous face's
jaw, and the upper part of the ship sail becomes its ribbed neck.
Also in the picture, there's a shield and perhaps this has been integrated into the design as well as the bulbous head dress.
d) Detail from Tintin drawing and the corresponding detail in Giger's painting
e) Fish head and mouth with corresponding detail in Giger's painting
f) Ship sails becomes the neck area
g) A sculpture of a head becomes an impression of a face within a bubble
h) Tintin's
face becomes the head poking out of the canon, I suppose that Captain
Haddock's left hand, Tintin's right hand and Snowy/Milou the dog's head
all become part of the row of three hands but that doesn't necessarily
translate so specifically. The angel fish's eye becomes a small skull
with a long tongue
i) While
I've decided that the head sticking out of the cannon references
Tintin's head, it might also reference the head of the statue standing
on the stool
j) If
we compare the statue's head and the head sticking out of the cannon
even further. The statue's ear becomes the open mouth, and the diagonal
line on the forehead becomes a curved structure behind the head. The
left eye becomes an ear.
k) Then
it's as if the sword fish's blade has been flipped around and turned into a long tongue
coming in from a little skull on the other side of the picture.
