Red Eye | Look Optical | Maynard Art Walk | Maynard, MA | 2015

The Maynard Art Walk is an annual event where the local businesses collaborate with artists and musicians for a public celebration.  Look Optical is owned by a musician and there is a space set aside to hang artwork and for musicians to perform.  Within this space is the eye chart and corresponding equipment which came to the fore in Red Eye, I was thinking about looking, measurement, limitations and play.  In John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, he says “the relation between what we see and what we know is never settled”.

​Installation materials: plaster-dipped cardboard tubing, 2.5" in diameter, .25" slice, hung with red craft wire, graph paper illustration with pencil, and sewn wire and ink drawings on plaster-cast glasses lens
