Cataractous

I chose to focus on the "decay" portion of this piece but I will touch on adaptation a little bit as I write about this work. This is a cataractous eye. If you're not familiar with cataracts you should probably take a second to look it up. I was kind of thinking about my own previous works in my self-absorbed kind of way and how I can somehow link it to the idea of decay and adaptation through my own thought process. I started think about perception more and more. I recall the phrase "perceiving the world differently" and started thinking about eyes in general. I did what I know best and started making images of eyes, collecting more images of eyes and then I gave my full attention to this idea. Everything is on the eventual decay, nature's unrelenting force to bring things to dust. Going blind. Cataracts. I can't full explain how I reached this end but I guess I hope I can convey to you how I think it relates to the decaying theme. Nature has chosen this person's eye to decay. Not really "chosen" but it's this long-term exposure to ultra-violet light and radiation throughout the years. Could be other causes but I felt these waves of radiation and light are like wind and water is on stone. Eroding away everything it touches. Sadness...Darkness forming over vision.

I used a similar printing method as I have in the past with waxes, inks, dirt, and paint.
