Identify issues of gaze with your own artwork.
As my work is currently static models and viewed within cabinets then boxes for second exhibition, the gaze is the viewers response to my work - or a spectator's gaze. I am aware that I will have to accept that sometimes a viewer might not receive or understand the work as I intended. The characters in the story and the theme make it easy (hopefully) to identify characters - I had not thought of the use of the gaze - eg characters reaching out to the audience to invite them into their world.

- This reflects power structure, or the nature of the relationship between subjects.
