About the Item
Eric Orr’s Blind Window (1988) is a contemplative study of material, perception, and the metaphysical nature of light. Created with gold leaf on lead on board, the piece embodies Orr’s signature engagement with elemental materials and sensory experience. Measuring 15.75 x 11 inches, Blind Window evokes a quiet yet profound interplay between opacity and illumination, weight and transcendence. The lead surface, dense and impenetrable, contrasts with the delicate, reflective quality of gold leaf, creating a paradoxical dialogue between concealment and revelation.
Orr, associated with the Light and Space movement, often sought to shape perception through material interventions, and Blind Window exemplifies this approach. The work suggests an absence that is simultaneously filled with potential, a window that does not open to a view but instead turns inward, inviting introspection. The title hints at a contradiction—“blind” negates vision, while “window” implies transparency and openness. This tension underscores Orr’s philosophical concerns with seeing beyond the visible, engaging viewers in a meditative experience.
By incorporating materials historically associated with alchemy and transformation, Orr imbues Blind Window with a timeless, almost spiritual quality, reinforcing his enduring exploration of light, materiality, and the unseen dimensions of perception.
