Pareidolia: new work by Bridget Sexauer. Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to an image or a sound by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists, such as seeing the man in the moon or hearing voices within white noise. Bridget’s paintings were inspired during her time working on board the M/V Golden Alaska, and is the result of putting a female with a tendency to anthropomorphize everything she sees in an engine room with no shortage of beautiful corrosion and industrial aesthetic.
