The ALL SEEING EYE
My first solo public exhibition piece, All Seeing Eye, is taking place at Stryx gallery between now and the 31st May. The work amalgamates our relationship with consumerism, with Gaze theories, to create an installation that will be watching you....
The ‘All seeing eye’ is a symbol which has feature throughout history in many different cultures and societies. It has often been used in North America and Russia symbolically on money or seals associated with power. It represents the omnipresence of God, watching the action of humanity and serves as a reminder ‘we are being watched’.
As the shop looks back at us; flipping the usual Gaze of consumers viewing products, we become the product of our society, raising questions about our relationship with money, where we spend it and what we buy.
The window projection installation will run alongside 2 workshops; one for adults and one for children, as well as interventions within the cafe space itself, such as myself working in the cafe, an activity for children and an artist's talk and Private view event.
adeste nobiscum. adorate ad aram artis atque coffeae. date nobis operam. date nobis intentionem. date nobis pecuniam. dabimus vobis comitatem. dabimus vobis spem. aperite animum. ianua nostra aperta est.
