Expanded Eye: Tattoo Work and Human Consciousness
Jade Tomlinson and Kev James work together as Expanded Eye, and their subject is a large one: the collision of human consciousness with geometry, symbol and the natural world.
Tattooing is the medium, which raises the stakes considerably. A drawing can be thrown away; these cannot, and the work is designed with that permanence in mind — dense, geometric, and built to still be legible decades later.
