Optic Nerve Waterprint
2023
Ink and water on paper (unique)
41 x 56cm
Framed in welded aluminium and museum glass
In Optic Nerve Waterprint, Erin Bird draws viewers into the intricate balance of perception and abstraction. The mushroom-like form, centered within the piece, evokes the organic structure of vision itself—an echo of the optic nerve's role in translating sight. A vivid rainbow arcs through the center, throwing a dynamic interplay of light and color across the piece. This element serves as both a contrast and a connection, symbolizing the filtering of reality through layers of emotion, memory, and experience.
