Oil on glass, 48x15x8"; tempered glass, mahogany, aluminum.
This work, like many in the series from the UBIQUITY show, has an integral kinetic element. The work spins about a vertical axis, allowing access to both sides of the glass pane. The figure’s eyes are open on one side and closed on the other.
McLeod is messing around with cultural themes here. The glass and paint are so painfully “transparent” (obvious/unguarded), yet the work itself is a bit confusing and curious. Intention, resolution, motive, identity, and the subconscious are all influencers in the formulation of the content.
