Jennie Jewitt-Harris : Anything But the Eyes

18 Oct-11 Dec 2019

James Hockey & Foyer Galleries
Farnham GU9 7DS

Overview

Investigating the relationship we have with our eyes and the common reluctance to donate corneas after death. This exhibition presents the practice-based research of Jennie Jewitt-Harris, who investigates this unique phenomenon through a variety of media. She draws on her professional experience in medicine and psychology to inform her practice. Through her drawings, collages, sound-art, assemblages and stereo photography she explores the findings from interviews with people who feel unable to donate their corneas after death but are willing to donate all other organs. Jennie Jewitt-Harris has been a PhD student at UCA since 2014 and the exhibition is the culmination of her PhD investigation.
