Being seen is a two-way street – seeing connects us to what we observe. We see, and we’re entangled. It is us. We are it. You can’t be removed from your own experience, but you can observe it, intricately. Just watch, you’ll see.
DESCRIPTION
In a rich, saturated field of red, eyes appear suspended – subject and environment simultaneously. They’re everywhere, embedded within the visual field as symbols of consciousness, awareness, projection, and reflection. You enter the image as observer. You realize quickly you’re being observed.
The observed observing the observer – so which are we?
We become what we see. We co-mingle, share each other with each other, becoming one another. The sum of subject and observer is made more by the blending. Experience changes everything.
YOU can RUN but YOU can’t HIDE – The Eyes Have It has us explore the recursive, self-referencing nature of perception. Ouroboros with its tail in its mouth – continuously devouring itself, continuously reborn from itself and becoming itself.
Within the BwahT system, this work belongs to the Watcher/Observer Mythos, where perception becomes an active force. Awareness is never neutral. To see is to participate.
You’re being looked at and you’re looking back. That’s relationship – that’s connection.
YOU can RUN but YOU can’t HIDE – The Eyes Have It is from a canvas painting done with acrylics on canvas.
