Two eyes. Two colors. One unwavering gaze.
Built from bold strokes and fractured fields of color, Through Different Eyes asks you to look a little longer. Black lines give structure to a face that refuses to stay within any expected palette, while mismatched eyes become the quiet center of an otherwise vivid composition.
There is an expression here that is difficult to name. She is looking directly at us, but what she is thinking, or what she sees when she looks back, is left unanswered.
Like much of my work, this piece began with a reference image that made me feel something. I kept what drew me in, let go of the rest, and followed the painting where it wanted to go.
Maybe we don't all see the same thing.
Maybe that's the point.
This piece is NOT framed.
