Note: DO NOT TRY TO READ THE TEXT. WHAT THE ACTUAL TEXT SAYS IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVENT. Sorry, I felt the need to say that because I keep getting asked about the text on the page. The text is basically just part of the surface. It is there to add another dimension to the work. The page was not picked for the picture because of what it said. I never actually read this book.

This was based off of my eye. I can't guarantee how close it is to reality. There's something intrinsically difficult about trying to draw your own eye in the mirror. I think it has to do with drawing and staying still at the same time.

We all have our own outlook on life, our own frame or reference. Some call this a Paradigm, from the latin which roughly translates into "beside example." It works on the concept that our lives teach us how to look at things. What we see, what we read into situations is based on where we have been and what we have seen previously. We project ourselves onto the rest of the world. Perception is not a linear flow, into the brain through the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. We constantly compare new situations to old ones. We place them "beside example." We start drawing similarities and try to get the new situation to match the old one with which we are familiar and confortable.

I hope I'm not too boring. :)

It's just whatever was written on the page of the book I decided to draw on. The actual text is sorta irrelavent. :)
