The duo of prints exhibited below are works in which I developed further into a duo series. The first had been mirrored as to create one large eyeball within the optical spiral, a conjoined Queen. The process of mirroring, spiritually attains symbolic attachment to illumination, awareness and wisdom. The nature of the mirroring technique is to reflect the truth; I wanted to askew the original print into something I found to propose the lens of someone who is experiencing diplopia (double vision) something of which some visually impaired people with lesser ailments (people with glasses) may experience. Further examples as to the lens in which I projecting within this print are listed below.
Diplopia is the technical term in which an individual will see two forms of an object, there are two forms of diplopia; Monocular and Binocular.
Monocular diplopia can occur when something distorts light transmission through the eye to the retina. There may be two images. One of the images is of normal quality (ie, brightness, contrast, clarity); and the rest are of inferior quality. The most common causes of monocular diplopia are:
Cataract
Corneal shape problems, such as keratoconus or surface irregularity
Uncorrected refractive error referred to as an astigmatism
Binocular diplopia suggests disconjugate alignment of the eyes. There are only two images, and they are of equal quality. There are a multitude of possible causes of binocular diplopia, however the most common are:
Cranial nerve
Myasthenia gravis
Orbital infiltration
Most commonly, the eyes are misaligned because of a disorder affecting the cranial nerves innervating the extraocular muscles (3rd, 4th, or 6th cranial nerves). These palsies may be isolated and idiopathic or the result of various disorders involving the cranial nerve nuclei or the infranuclear nerve or nerves. Other causes involve mechanical interference with ocular motion or a generalised disorder of neuromuscular transmission.
The second print of the series is a caricature-esc illustration. I had warped the face of the subject and accentuated the focal point of the design; the focal point being the eyeball engulfed by squid tentacles, harrowing within an optic spiral. I wanted to further elaborate on the nature of distortion and peculiarity by literally manipulating the proportions of the image.
