(Winged Eye) is a small assemblage that hangs on the wall. It uses such disparate elements as a found bird's wing, a round mirror with a photographic eye, and computer chips, in an union of technology and nature. What do you see as you look in the mirror.. your own eye, or that of the other?
(God's Eye) is based on a traditional weaving from Mexico, called "God's Eyes" (or Ojo de Dios). Two sticks are bound together in a cross and yarn is woven around them. The cross represents the four directions and the weaving, an abstract eye, represents "the power to see and understand things unknown". This artwork uses a twig and a copper tube, the interplay of the natural and the artificial, for the cross, and a mixture of natural twine and metallic mylar for the weaving, which is counterweighted by a eye of stone on the bottom. The natural stone has an eye printed on it by a photographic process, more tension between technology and nature.
