The South is particularly susceptible to confusions of fact and fiction, and Nasisse makes personalized myths of 'haints' and 'boogey men'. His creations invoke images from various primitive cultures such as Haitian Voodoo, Mexican and Italian votives, and Mayan ritual figures. The eccentricity of some of his creations evokes the religious fervor of work by some of Nasisse's untrained artist friends like Dilmus Hall and Reverend Howard Finster, or the grotesque humor of the late Nellie Mae Rowe."--Peter Morrin ; "I just take up a pencil and trace out the future of a thing."--Andy Nasisse ; scarce ; spot on inside front cover ; else FINE.
