| Stereopsis New Moon , Lisa Kay, 9/30/16 |
Looking into a black ceramic crock pot, soaking in my sink, I captured this strange and astounding photo that I titled,
Cyclops. The mandala image was created from the interaction of vinegar and baking soda. I have been contemplating and wondering about the meaning of this image ever since the new moon. What does this have to do with the moon cycle? What I discovered is that a more fitting name for this mandala is
Stereoposis rather than
Cylops.
This greek term (
stereo meaning "solid" and
opsis meaning" appearance") refers to one's ability to see with both eyes that which may is hidden from each eye alone. For me, this is a reminder to stay open to seeing and perceiving with what Educational Philosopher, Maxine Greene has called a "wide-awakeness."
