Minds Eye in Water
This painting was executed in various experimental phases. The work is a continuation of a previous work entitled Trees in Water. Here I have zeroed in on the central plane of Trees in Water and executed it onto a 5 feet canvas. When the image of the finished painting Minds Eye in Water is rotated at a particular speed (see YouTube link below) as a video installation, a cornea area of the eye can be discerned.
This work conveys the dyslexic experience of the propensity to daydreaming or mind wandering. Many dyslexics will recall being reprimanded at school for seemingly staring out the window into space. In my case I would look at the trees. This daydreaming or mind wandering is in fact a strength for the dyslexic whereby one is holistically gathering thought and often useful when being creative.
The work then conveys the watery glistening cornea area of the eye. Oil on 5 feet square canvas. Completed in 2022.
