Eye Spy

Today I'm joining Gill of Gibby Frogett Craftations this month's host at Art Journal Journey where her theme is Anything With Eyes.

I had not originally intended for this to be a political statement, but somehow it has turned out that way.

When I saw all the data oozing out of the eye, Eye Spy is all I could think of.

For those of you who are international readers, you may or may not be aware it is a proven fact (by more than one source, including the Mueller Report) that Russians interfered with our elections in 2016. They used various methods, including trolling and cyber attacks.

All those 1s and 0s reminded me of data that was collected and manipulated to change the outcome of our election process.

And of course, along with data manipulation comes spies.   I could care less about your political affiliation and I never intended a political statement.  I just hope you enjoy this piece of journal art.

For this page, I began with the focal image I found in one of my statistics journals.  It had nothing to do with spying or data manipulation.  That decision and choice was mine.  I computer generated, printed, and colored the words using two water soluble crayons.  I then sewed the words and focal image to the black construction paper using variegated thread.

Thank you beyond belief for visiting today.  I also hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey, too.
