Artwork description: Look at the work from a distance, and you will see in the bars a representation of the face of Venus, from the 1485 work of master Botticelli. This is an homage to my first photographic reinterpretation of Venus, which I made in 1996 for my graduation from the Maastricht Academy of Art. In many cases, looking is supplanted by seeing, we as individuals are very easily influenced. We are influenced by other people, politics, films, computer games, television, social media, etc. to form a view. While we ourselves have been given eyes to look with, perhaps if we ourselves were to look more closely with our own eyes and allow this perception to factor more into the formation of a vision, we might have formed a different (our own) vision. With various "viewing exercises", I want to make you, the viewer, aware that in order to view a subject properly, you have to move yourself. The artworks are "layered" Only when you stand at a specific vantage point do you see something else, a 2nd image incorporated into the artwork.
