It is a monography by Juin Shieh. Shieh present countless female baby figures without heads. These figures, hybridized or composed with Classical forms of church cherubs, are agitatedly transformed as female babies with adultsome behavior.

As the title, Allegorical Communication: Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil protrays, she considers that the functions of hearing, seeing and speaking that are dominated by the head are not required in his idea of allegorical communiction. Instead, her way of communication is by an ancient behave, the physical expression through the earliest, the infant's, physical language, innocent and primitive. Therefore, she paint countless female baby figures entangled with their heads invisible through this wriggling mass. With a feminist awareness opposing the traditional male cherub painting, she paint purely female babies in her works.

Artist statement and biography are included.
