b) References Radio Times July 3-9 1976 "Viewing America"? 

On July 8th,  I find that the Radio Times Collectors group of Facebook have posted the cover of a Radio Times that connects with my mind and I come to realise that it should connect with this Giger painting

c) American man's head transforms into metal animal head. The lamp shade becomes a short city block in the distance. What it also begins to look like is that the frill of the lampshade has become the snout of this metal animal head.

 

d) American woman's head becomes abstract head in bubble. Rather than just seeing it as a sort of "space jockey" type face from the side, one might start looking at it with much more distorted possibilities as a sort of face seen near enough from the front. The contents of her tray become connecting pieces for the pipes.

 

e) Top of boy's head becomes the hump of the ribcage

 
 

f) Dog's paws, burger and cola become the line of circles that are the ends of the row of pipes

 

g) Girl's head becomes abstract form, perhaps the circle of stars on the American flag becomes the lower circle that ought to be an ear cover on someone's head, her necklace becomes the bending pipe like form that leads down to the circle, as if it were a jawline. However these are just general forms being transferred from one thing to another so being specific is fairly unrealistic, but one might sense a comparison.

 

 

h) Necklace almost comparable to the bent pipe.
