Hi Leonor,
Following up on our recent correspondence, below are some images of what’s emerged.
I took some inspiration from your resin forms and process as I decided on what to finally make. In several recent drawings/paintings I have used the motif of a hovering eye – a kitsch, cartoonish eye that emerges from electric chakras, engaging notions of cosmic-vision and transcendence. While the imagery is kitsch and playful, the idea of transcendence and seeing beyond is something I’m actually quite interested in. Below are a few images for reference, followed by the final outcome, sort of a brooch-object with a candy-like finish.
