The Gaze: 24″ x 18″, oil on wood:
An unidentifiable girl glaring at the viewer only materializes as the viewer returns the look, but only if it’s long enough with interest to makes the connection. The painting is organic when captured by the gaze of the viewer insofar as he remains a spectator gazing at the painting. The gaze is the vehicle for silent communication between the viewer and the viewed. It’s word without sound; it’s personal without being personal. How does it makes you feel?
