The Gaze

My signature "double eyes" is an evolution that begun with me just doodling stuff. I would do a lot of reflections, doubling images and playing with symmetry a lot. I started by duplicating the image and mirroring it. When I pushed it a bit further, I ended up doubling the eyes and when I showed that piece for the first time I just loved how people reacted to it. It makes people engage with the piece differently‰ It•s a bit of an optical illusion and it takes time for your eyes to adjust to the painting. I love creating that physical reaction, something they have to stop and think about and I like that it engages people on a different level instead of just having them look at something pretty.
