Evil Eye, 2020, Beads, Thread and Oil on Canvas, 60” x 68”
Much like a diary, Evil Eye (2020) oscillates between playfulness and fear, to reveal sensitive emotions associated with thoughts concerning ritual and superstition. This work hints at the connection linking fear and dependency, to faith and devotion. There are 400 evil eye beads stitched into the canvas, traveling around in migratory lines. The red thread sybolizes blood, and points to the linear fashion of recording one’s own history.
