Grant said he liked the concept of Spear&#8217;s art in that it presented a different look at the conclusions humans jump to when decimation takes over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When people see the turban [in one of the art pieces], they have preconceived notions of war and violence, but all the different colors of the cassettes [in place of a belt of bullets] represent the different nations brought together by music,&#8221; Grant said. &#8220;Music brings people together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And apparently the same goes for disco balls, a recurring theme throughout Spear&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There has to be a disco ball if there&#8217;s going to be an Andrew show,&#8221; attendee Debbie Shemanski said.<br \/>\nA disco ball hung from the ceiling in the center of the room while others were being blasted from bazookas in black and white.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the patterns in Spear\u2019s work look like they come straight out of the 60s, while his use of texture throughout locks of hair hold more details.
