Description
As part of Burnaway Artist Editions, Joy Drury Cox collaborated with Burnaway to design this limited edition bandana. She often appropriates mundane and bureaucratic structures in her artwork to critique their design and intended functions. Inspired by the design of a neighborhood crime watch sign, Cox reworked the icon of a single eye into a pattern, echoing the ways in which the act of looking itself can become a rigid, rote, and potentially harmful process. At the core of this work, Cox asks viewers to reconsider what and how we watch, look, and see the world.
Order contains a 22×22 100% cotton bandana and an accompanying editioned postcard.
Burnaway Artist Editions are a short-run of art objects created by artists from the South and the Caribbean and intended for a broad scope of discerning collectors. Learn more about the editions at burnaway.org.
