About the Item
Iris Eye #11, feels lighter and more architectural than some of the others in the Iris Eye series. The central pale star, with its softened hexagonal geometry, radiates outward like a crystalline bloom or a faint compass rose. Around it, rounded luminous forms cluster like cells or petals, suggesting both biological multiplicity and ornamental repetition. The green undertones behind these ivory shapes make the composition feel rooted in vegetal growth, as though we are looking at an eye refracted through leaves and sunlight.
Structurally, the image emphasizes a vertical axis. At the bottom, the darker, chalice-like form appears to cradle the central star, almost as though the whole composition were being offered upward. This vessel-like figure grounds the otherwise airy geometry, introducing a ritualistic presence: an altar, a stem, or even a stylized pupil anchoring the “flower-eye.”
Symbolically, this piece leans toward clarity and emergence, and radiates a calm, luminous equilibrium—like vision at dawn, when forms are just becoming visible. It embodies the Iris Eye tendency to merge ocular and floral imagery, but here with an added sense of renewal, as if the act of seeing itself were perpetually blooming.
This archival pigment print is printed on Epson Enhanced Matte paper. Image size is 30" x 17" and paper size is 32" x 19". Signed within the image, lower right.

In this recent work, the artist has focused on the production of abstract painterly images using a variety of digital methods and processes. These new images are at, what he calls, the “Center of Seeing” - closeups of a moment in time and space from the center of his digitally made kaleidoscopic videos. These captured images contain circle, star, or other primal geometric shapes – some resembling mandalas or flowers of a new interior space. Spiritual, psychological, with an emanating quality of light, they are vaguely familiar yet new.

Gary Cruz
Gary Cruz begins his creative process with the camera on his phone. Trained as an architect and designer, Cruz has a particular interest in creating and conflating depth within the pictorial plane. His final images compress space where the back is front and outside is inside. Past, present and future coexist simultaneously in his work where space is ambiguous. The works embody the duality of contemporary photographic techniques and the tradition of gestural painting. Cruz earned a degree in architecture from the University of Texas, Austin, Texas. He attended the Bronx Museum of the Arts, AIM Program, Bronx, New York. Cruz is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Grant and Robert Rauschenberg Change Inc. Grant. A native of Texas, Cruz now lives and works in New York City.

The Kitchen Drawer
Simply an overwhelming source of detritus...
'Detritus' series was born from the twin frustrations of lockdown halting all planned projects, yet litter still somehow being dropped in abundance on my street.
With no idea of the final output, or indeed the hygiene implications, I started to collect, scan, and record what I found. When I realised these colourful misshapen objects could be turned into something beautiful, the frustrations left me and I began looking for other sources of Detritus.
These collages gave me purpose during the pandemic and allowed me to grow something beautiful from a place of frustration. My aim is to simply give viewers of the work a fleeting moment of calm.
Unable to shoot anything, I’ve been making collections of things I find on the ground and scanning them to create composite images of otherwise ignored or discarded objects." - George McLeod...
