Eyes

Greg Penn

Exhibition:Wednesday 3rd August - 27th August

Opening:Wednesday 3rd August 6pm - 8pm

The simple motif of a set of eyes looking out and around in the work explores my interest in our understanding of perception and memory and the fundamental problems associated with depicting reality.

The work’s darkness allows the viewer an opportunity to suspend their thoughts, slow their mind and contemplate beyond what they see, perhaps asking how they see and how they know what they see to be true.

In the age old allegory of Plato’s cave, one understands a reality may exist beyond what is known and believed to be true to one’s own eyes. This video aims to engage and invite a similar enquiry.
