eye spy


This sculpture is like a giant video camera, and when inside I felt like I was part of a covert operation. The installation, called 'Vergence,' is based on the idea of a pinhole camera. Several holes are cut into the four sides of this structure and a lens is placed at each of the holes. Light refracts through the glass and projects the moving, outside scene up-side down onto hanging, plastic sheets. It's quite entertaining to figure out the mystery of this piece while standing in the darkness within and viewing the world without (you).
