There’s so much amazing detail in this, yet it resolves into very relevant one meta-image. It also strikes me as very ambivalent — eyes of mercy, yes; but also it reminds me of Michel Foucault’s Panopticon.
I was about to write that I am full of admiration for this image, but that it doesn’t move me – only, as I was about to leave it, it began to. I shall come back later for another look: perhaps the effect is cumulative.
This is beautiful- it reminds me of stained-glass;
partly because it evokes the feeling of lovely church
windows or cathedrals, and there is a 3 dimensional
quality that comes through which brings the piece to life-
if one could sculptured a dream- this is how I’d imagine it-
all the colors are so vivid they practically pop off the page
in an illuminated dance of art that lingers in reverie~
Lovely. I see Marc Chagall.
