All Seeing Eye by Katherine Howes
Stryx JQ Gallery
Private view Friday 19th April  4pm - 9pm
9am - 3pm Monday to Saturday

Our next Window Residency artist is Katherine Howes. Howes will be exhibiting a fine art video installation for the window residency entitled: ‘All Seeing Eye’.

The ‘All seeing eye’ is a symbol which has feature throughout history in many different cultures and societies. It has often been used in North America and Russia symbolically on money or seals associated with power. It represents the omnipresence of God, watching the action of humanity and serves as a reminder ‘we are being watched’.

As the shop looks back at us; flipping the usual Gaze of consumers viewing products, we become the product of our society, raising questions about our relationship with money, where we spend it and what we buy.
