      KAWS’s first sculptures were limited edition toys for the Japanese brand Bounty Hunter, and the stylised figures distributed around YSP in a variety of postures – shielding their eyes from the sun, seated in apparent contemplation or leading a child-sized version of themselves over the sward – have the appearance of gigantic toys, with their instant legibility and machine-honed surfaces.
    • 1769, The King James Bible, Numbers ix. 15:
      And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
    • 1769, The King James Bible, John vii. 24:

    • 2003, Roy Porter, Flesh in the Age of Reason, Ch.9, at p.150, 151:
      'Never be taken in by false appearancesʻ was Swift's habitual satirical message. 'In most Corporeal Beings, which have fallen under my Cognizance, the Outside hath been infinitely preferable to the In,' he elsewhere proclaimed. [...] The sordid reality beneath the mask haunted him: was all civilisation just dirt and derangement at heart? [...] Evidently man was not the homo rationalis he pretended to be but rather, at best, homo rationis capax - a creature capable of rationality, though by implication falling short.
  5. (philosophy, theology) That which is not substance, essence, hypostasis; the outward reality as opposed to the underlying reality
