"But it may be slightly more complicated than that. Piechocki’s life, as a visual presentation—from studio to living room to palette to wardrobe choices—shares an odd and unsettling dialect. Once combined, it’s all from his planet. Even if the Rollerblade is chosen only for visual appeal, it’s the Rollerblade that Piechocki selected from the outer world and brought home to live with him. It’s as much a part of him as anything he calls his own. But the question of whether or not Piechocki’s innocent take on his strange constellation of equal parts is by design is impossible to know.
'I’m always trying to find the balance between lightheartedness and sinister,' Piechocki reflects, searching without satisfaction for the right analog to describe his inspiration. 'I like nervous laughter!' he injects with a wild-eyed smile and, after a beat, nervous laughter."
