EYELINE: 1/1 x 100 oil paintings. I obscure the eyes because the eye is a lie. Not the eye itself, the assumption behind it. That seeing means knowing. That a face read is a person known. That the gaze is a reliable channel. It is not. We are seen at scale now and understood by no one. The flash across the eyes marks that refusal. It denies you the easy empathy of eye contact and leaves you with the surface, the uncertainty, the fact that you are looking at a body and not an interior. This figure knows it is being looked at. It is not available for consumption. Oil on canvas with gel medium transfer, hand-finished (8"x8") by Rocketgirl.
