#uncanny

Mönch (Monk) is a solid polyester figure, life-sized and jarringly lifelike in its details, depicting a somewhat gaunt man dressed in roughly Franciscan habit: a floor-length cowled robe, a rope cintura with three knots around his midsection. He hunches ever so slightly forward but otherwise is just standing, with his arms loose at his sides. His eyes are closed. From head to toe he is a perfect matte black; he drinks the light and returns virtually none of it.
