Etnia House of Arts presents “Window to the Mind” by Clayton Blake.
An artwork that reimagines the familiar form of eyewear through the uncompromising language of Brutalism. Cast in concrete and reduced to bold geometric forms, the work transforms an object traditionally associated with clarity and vision into something monumental, architectural and deliberately confronting.
The openings become windows—framing fragments of the world while simultaneously obscuring it. The weight and permanence of concrete contrast with the intimacy and delicacy of something designed to be worn on the face.
“As a wearable sculpture, “Window to the Mind” explores the relationship between seeing and understanding. It asks whether perception is simply about what lies before us, or whether what we see is inevitably shaped by the architecture of our own minds." Clayton Blake
