Witness

Witness

One blue eye, wide open. It is the only colour in a face that has gone to stone: the skin crazed and cracked like dry earth, tendrils and coils creeping in at the edges. Everything else has turned black, white and grey, but the iris still burns, bright and unblinking, and it isn’t looking away. It has seen what happened, and it is still here.

Enamels are screen printed onto a single sheet of glass, so the blue glows when light passes through and the fine cracks and lashes stay sharp against the clear glass. The glass is mounted on a hardwood base, ready to display on a shelf or sideboard.

Details: Enamel screenprint on a single sheet of glass, mounted on a hardwood base. Portrait format, glass size 28 x 13 cm (11.0 x 5.1 in), height by width. Handmade by the artist.
