Mazza is an artist and fashion designer and he merges those skills in this full-color compendium of the artistic possibilities of eyewear. Pictures of these pieces including paintings, assemblies, and mixed media broken out into categories. These groupings blur together as it seems the prompt of glasses results in generally the whimsical and playful. It is interesting how any vaguely head-shaped form or even blank space can be animated, become humanized by the introduction of a pair of spectacles.

Funny, shortly after reading this I read online of how "A pair of glasses were left on an art gallery floor, and were mistaken for modern art".
