Owls eye is an exploration of impermanence and tracing how forms change through time. Relating to the impermanence of the physical. Looking at transcendence from the physical into the metaphysical. The eye represents the idea of being able to see, in a way that we can comprehend vision. The animal is used as a way to understand form and how we can comprehend physicality.

The one thing we can guarantee in this life is change, the way we see changes, the way we experience life changes and our physical form changes. The textural identity of fish eye is to understand how the physicalities of life, even our own vessel is constantly changing, adapting, evolving, developing, holding information, history, patterns and so with this one of the laws of nature is to understand change.

Evolving into a deeper understanding of how texture mimics human and natural existence. Using textural experimentations in the screen printing process to express an idea beyond form and the intellectual mind. To see this textured trace of time and multifaceted forms as an opportunity to be open to change, taking away the fear that we naturally gravitate towards and to cultivate the idea that change is not always negative but more so a constant adaption of form and one of the only certain realities in this life.

Using fabric, colour, dimension and movement in the hope to project the idea that in a world where we attach so much permanence in people, objects and places which in turn can lead to a lot of anxieties and fears. That we can also live in a space of much more faith by detaching from the idea of permanence and seeing these interchanging patterns and forms as something bright, colourful, necessary, natural and fearless.
