Seeing 2010 (#101)

For your consideration: a sliver of a focused glance from my father . . .

The construction here is abrupt, challenging, evocative of dark and powerful forces in motion. The composition of the slit portal within a partial ovoid -- complete with radiating arcs sweeping downward -- hints at an ironic Burqua-like assemblage.

Yet despite the ominous atmosphere the eyes' gaze is that of curiosity tinged with being in on the visual joke . . . a nice bit of playfulness during a lovely weekend in San Francisco.
