screen printed dye on cotton and tencel
54 x 36 inchesI am blind in one eye, and far from ambidextrous. In our culture, we praise symmetry as a kind of ideal, but no body is perfect. Woven simultaneously on two warps, this double self-portrait comes from an image that is divided at the loom—a kind of cellular mitosis. I am twice: looking at my right (good) hand with my left (good) eye; and again: looking at my left (weak) hand with my right (blind) eye. In our culture, we consider strength and dominance to be good, but I can only be unsure.
