RUTH RIX GALLERY TWO
THE WATCHERS. THE EMERGING FACE
|
From the window, the glance out and back before passing on. She seems to glance at us, take us in. The she will be gone, a fleeting, mysterious figure. |
 |
He seems to be abstracted, watching internally but there is a sense that although he is deeply self absorbed, he is also waiting, and may at any time wake from his reverie and turn and look at us. |
|
Both figures are watching and waiting, somehat self-absorbed and removed from whatever the relationship is between them. They look out but also look within. They too could look at us, but do not - a presence and an absence. |
|
This
watcher looks out, but again does not look directly at us.The face
is lively, vital, very present and knowing. The knowing glance, the
recognitiion, may turn our way any second  |
 |
Absorbed in the task, he too may glance up at us any minute. Perhaps we wait for a suitable moment to interrupt. |
|
The child sleeps, but so solidly does the face materialise from the insubstantial background that we feel the strong possibilityof a breath, a flutter of eyelids, a waking. |
 |
The figure crouched with face hidden, bowed, weeping we presume, in sadness at least.But wait, that upward movement of the big toe has an air of resolution about it.. Will the head rise any second andlook us firmly in the eye? We can't be certain. Once again because we are not sure about the figure, we are not sure about ourselves. |
