Description

Both slugs and snails are gastropods under the phylum Mollusca. The classification is a combination of the Greek gastros (stomach) and podos (feet). Snails wear their shells on the outside. Slugs may have a prominent mantle or internalized shell. The googly eyes project is the result of an exploration of nature, happenstance, face pareidolia, a pocket full of eyes and an appreciation of the absurd. Face pareidolia is the false perception of faces in nature. This may have a survival benefit as our brains quickly find faces both friendly and not so friendly. The googly eye is a black circle floating over a white disk and is often used to humorous effect. The slugs were not harmed in this process. The googly eyes were resting on top and typically were shed by the slugs within a minute or two, and if not, were carefully removed. Created for slug week 2022
