DANCING BEHIND MY EYELIDS

Dancing Behind My Eyelids is a series of miscellaneous works that plays with the sudden spikes and squeaks the EEG records when we open and shut our eyes. These records of blinks embody the repeated transition between looking outward and looking inward. The glittery and reflective surfaces evoke the dancing lights, dots and flashes we see when we look inside our eyeldis and try to focus and dig into our minds. Often, in the instants after we suddenly reopen our eyes, we still see these posphenes overimpressed on whatever our view. The reflective and shimmering materials of these works thus muse on the show of dancing lights we can privately contemplate behind our closed eyelids.
