Skeye

»Review«

What you see is what is depicted: an eye formed from a cloud formation, and the fusion of ‘Sky’ and ‘Eye’ to form ‘SKeye’. SKeye is rendered in German as “Himmelsauge” or “himmlisches Auge”. Skeye also is the name of an old rose species. The English ‘celestial eye’ evokes the original cover of Scott-Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’. And this cover is based on a painting by Francis Cugat, ‘Celestial Eyes’.

The photograph is of the sky over Callantsoog, North Holland, and the work is therefore part of the ‘Playing around with Callantsoog skies’ series. The SKY series explores the theme of “SKY” on three levels: visual, written, and sound.
