I started making these eyes in 2022, using found wood. I think of them as amulets like hamsas, those symbols from the Middle East. I use cerulean blue for the eyeballs because traditional hamsas are blue. Also, ancient eyes of Horus were blue, faience-glazed. I’m thinking about the watchful eyes all around us: the cameras outside and inside buildings, including our own homes. I’m thinking about my eyes, and all of ours. How we see the world through them, how valuable they are, and how vulnerable. I celebrate our eyes, and our vision, and bearing witness.
