Artwork Description

I See You

0.0 x 0.0

24 inches wide x 30 inches high on a gallery style canvas (1 1/2 inch thick). At first I was inspired by the simple beauty of the physical eye and iris. While I was working on it though, I was thinking about the deeper meaning of the eye and what it does. The phrase “I See You” does not only describe the action of seeing, it also implies understanding/acknowledging another person. I decided to juxtapose the visual with those words. In one place however, I changed the words to “Do you see me?”. We focus so much on others, being acknowledged and seen ourselves is often not deemed important, it is a quiet and timid question.
