new work: fixations and saccades

Saccades are times in which we are technically blind, as the eye is moving too quickly to get any sort of picture from what it is seeing. What better way to illustrate this type of imagery than by using blind contour technique. Blind contour is drawing the line and shape of an object without taking your eyes off the object and not allowing yourself to look at the paper.
The final images and shapes are then arranged into a filmstrip-like sequence, driven by composition of line, shape, and color ... some of the imagery being recognizable; some not.

"ya see what ya wanta see, and ya hear what ya wanta hear." - Harry Nilsson, The Point
