For a year now I’ve been coming to terms with double vision, which is not a good thing for a visual artist but does open up a depth of metaphor. In this painting I want to speak to our choices, whether realized or not, about how we perceive the world. Also, about polarization and binary positioning. The specific idea for the composition came when I saw my two pairs of glasses together in their case, red and green, neither of them an ideal correction to the underlying problem but nonetheless my lifeline to functional vision.
