Eye See You, an exhibition at This Temporary Space gallery in Thomaston, Maine
Saturday, July 11th 2026from 3:00pm to 6:00pm
Opening Reception; exhibition up through August 7
If you'll be near Thomaston, Maine, this weekend or sometime before August 7, visit the beautiful seasonal gallery This Temporary Space, which is kicking off its exhibition "Eye See You".
My video piece "Object Apologies" is in the show; I'll be performing at the Opening Reception and bringing Inanimated Speed Dating to Maine! Also performing is musician Alexander Bigney; Katia Dermott is offering a photo experience, “An Exercise in Being Seen”.
About the show: Drawing inspiration from the writings of John Berger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Eye See You explores perception as a relationship between self and world. What we see is shaped by memory, culture, experience, and the body itself. Seeing is not merely an act of looking, but a way of being in contact.
The works in this exhibition approach the eye as witness, portal, mirror, and threshold. Together they consider intimacy and surveillance, visibility and concealment, recognition and reflection. They ask: How do we look? How are we seen? What remains unseen? What looks back?
In an age saturated with images, Eye See You invites a slower encounter. It offers a space to consider seeing as an act of attention, presence, and relation, reminding us that every gaze has the power to shape both the observer and the observed.
