My eye drawings did not convey the message that I was hoping they would. Layering the pastels was supposed to imitate the layers in our eyes and how each was developed because of genetics. All the information in our eyes is genetically inherited based on or DNA code from our ancestors. I wanted the viewer to become intimate with the drawings and view the layers. I wanted to put a DNA sequence or strand over the eyes, but I thought that would give the viewers to much.Research says that relatively dense pigmentation of the anterior border layer in the brown eye for example, signifies a greater pigmentation response. Genetic patterning is the represented with a line, circle, ring, or blemish which is cause from a specific DNA gene in their coding.
