For this piece my object of repetition was sewing pins. I used close to 400 sewing pins to create the eyes out of different colors of yarn and string. The reason I used sewing pins is because i sew. In combination with the yarn i felt like mapping out the design of the eyes was a lot like mapping out life, planning some places to go, adapting to others, going round in circles, and ending up somewhere you're supposed to be. I pushed the pins into slabs of wood to illustrate how life grounds us. I depicted eyes because eyes are a very common theme in my art, I view them as a door way to the soul. I made them look somewhat like my eyes because I believe that the way we find ourselves is by living our life.
