In her solo exhibition entitled Eyes Without A Face, Jan Sunday recognizes the
presence of an almighty power that simultaneously resides in all of creation. The title
of the exhibition accentuates the “eye” as a symbol of divine power, transmutation,
and enlightenment. This symbol can be seen throughout the history of our known
world, examples being the Eye of Providence from the FreeMasons, the Eye of Horus
from the ancient Egyptians, the Ichthys (or Jesus fish) from Christianity, and much
more. It hints that divinity is within all of us.
Sunday creates religious tapestry and an installation of chairs and a table - symbolic
to The Last Supper. Twelve seats and twelve plates, the disciples gather and partake
in the passing over of bread and wine, thus nurturing the teachings of Christ’s
consciousness as they consume his body and blood. “The Lord be with you, and with
your spirit” – an expression that acknowledges the power of divinity residing within
our very souls. Should we wish to access this power, we must partake in a sacred
covenant of light.
Twelve is also symbolic of the zodiac signs from western astrology. Each sign
represents a stage in the purification process of the soul. Through reincarnation, the
spirit continues to ascend in these stages and guides us into reaching divinity or
mastering the Christ within.
Placed deliberately on twelve plates are twelve tapestry pieces made from women’s
lingerie, representing Sunday’s exploration into dual cultivation and how harmony
with the natural order is achieved. Being a ritual of spiritual transmutation rather
than a carnal tradition, sexual intercourse could achieve transformation and healing,
if cultivated properly. It is an opportunity for the participating individuals to uplift
each other in the realm of bliss and wholeness.
Living within all of us is a power that is pure and divine. As earthly beings, we often
find ourselves pondering on the significance of our very existence, and what our role
is in the grander scheme of the cosmos. By opening our eyes and tapping into the
power that dwells within do we truly achieve balance within ourselves, and find the
awareness of something that is greater than life itself.
Her early works are made from laser and archival prints assembled,
transformed, and distorted and sometimes adding distressed mirrors
and textures to further image distortion. She uses her nude
photographs as the canvas as she sees herself a work in progress and
the body as a vessel of transformation.
