A Modified Eye Chart

Yesterday I spent the entire day in the studio. I worked on this print (above) that is based on a traditional Eye Chart. The original Snellen Eye Chart was developed by a Dutch eye doctor Hermann Snellen in the 1860s. The chart is used to measure visual acuity. It has eleven lines of letters. The first line has one letter. Each line thereafter increases in number and decreases in size.

I used a quote by playwright, poet, and artist August Strindberg which reads, "There are poisons that blind you and poisons that open your eyes."
