A row of eyes, each one painted by hand in the bowl of an antique silver spoon, now printed on cloth and hung in a kitchen.
The paintings came first. I collect old silver, tarnished soup spoons, teaspoons, jam spoons, odd ones with no pair left. Into each bowl I paint a single eye in oils, a nod to the Georgian lover’s eye, a portrait made small enough to be kept secret, so that someone could carry a glance in their pocket.
The design sits in two bands, one at each end, so it reads the same whichever way up you hang it. And whichever way up you hang it, something is looking back.
Printed on linen and cotton, cut and sewn in Australia, in a first run of 24.
Details
Approx. 48 × 71 cm - each one cut and hemmed by hand, so sizes vary slightly.
Linen and cotton blend
Australian made and owned
Arrives tied with a printed tag, ready to give
Fits a standard 50 cm magnetic hanger, if you’d rather hang it than use it
Care
Machine wash 30°C. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Cool iron.
Postage
Postage within Australia is $10 flat. I post worldwide, for anywhere outside Australia, email robyn@robynrich.com and I’ll quote the actual cost to your address.
