John Rudel worked with student’s of Norfolk’s Emerging Leaders program to create “Eyes”, a kinetic sculpture that relates to the traditional summer camp craft project called “God’s Eyes”. Student’s worked to cut and bend then grommet aluminum elements onto grid panels. John used the eyes of his three children for this public work – which in turn – asks viewers to consider who is watching them. Designed to move and shimmer in the wind – the images are made of aluminum units that mimic computer pixels – thus reminding us of our ability to connect deeply and emotionally even through technologically mediated experiences. “Eyes” is located in the MacArthur North Parking Garage facing Monticello Ave. across from the NORVA.
