Circular

Brass, cord
ø 32 cm
That which encircles or surrounds. Like a drawing of the
outline of an eye and its translation onto paper. From circle
to circle. Starting with the tear duct, outlining eyelashes,
and ending with a lack of definition in the pupil and iris.
Nothing like a Japanese manga drawing, where the eye is
pure pop art, but rather an imprecise gesture, with no idea
where it’s leading. Like drawing from memory, like trying
to tie your shoelaces in the dark.
