Like them, shapeshifting and camouflaging

“Phantom Limbs Can Still Play Hide and Seek’’ (clear and fluorescent acrylic, Stonehenge Aqua, ultraviolet ink), by Kenson Truong, in his show “Bespoke,’’ at Boston Sculptors Gallery.

The gallery says that Truong taps into the psyche of cephalopods, such as cuttlefish and octopuses, while tying in his identity as a gay Asian-American man. He notes their “aptitude to shapeshift and camouflage in plain sight through its cognitive ability to learn systems of deception using spatial memory, personalities and motor play” and how experiments on them “have developed into metaphor for psychological phenomena represented by cognitive dissonance and social cognitive theory.”
