No Window No Soul

Various studio installations, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity

2017

Linocut

These installations are a result of a simple question of whether the eyes equate an internal soul or not. It is in response to the colloquial saying, "the eyes are the window to the soul". These prints have been my method of visually dissecting words that ignore the population who do not share the privilege of full sight and which are commonly accepted as truth. I was interested in the mantra-esque rhythm of reading the words in a circle, never reaching a conclusion and always giving up without any solution.

The letters were designed and carved into linoleum, printed on an etching press on mulberry paper.
