Behind Closed Eyes

"Behind Closed Eyes is a 16-foot hollow sculpture hand-carved from reclaimed Indonesian teak salvaged from retired fishing vessels and structural timber. Its exterior features repeating, topographic-like ridges that reveal deep texture, visible tool marks, and natural patina. Hand-formed copper elements suggest eyes and a spine. The crouching figure sits at ground level with knees drawn in and hands covering its eyes. While the gesture suggests hiding, the posture conveys awareness and quiet presence. At night, a soft glow emerges from the eyes and the back of the head and interior, making the sculpture visible from a distance without feeling theatrical." — by Spencer Hansen
