Artist Karen Gutfreund sent this call out for your EYES:

I'm working on a new conceptual piece and I NEED YOUR HELP!

I need your eyes!

Take a picture of your eyeball, up close as possible and email it to me. Just shoot it with your camera phone, grainy pictures and/or blurry are just fine. Just send them! Get other people to do it too.

Then in your email -- I want to you write a sentence about what is your refuge... Where do you go to escape? What gets you to a happy place? What gets you through the day?

Here's a few of mine in no particular order: The smiles on Ben & Sams (nephews) face when I pull in their driveway; the sound of ice-cubes clinking into a glass when I pour a vodka cocktail; sinking into bed loosing myself in chick-lit books; the smell of Scotts neck. Simple things, but make the fabric of my life that is so busy and complicated right now. The tiny things I hold onto.

I'm counting on all of you -- I need these for a piece I'm creating for the next WCA show titled "Hidden Cities".

And don't worry -- you will be completely anonymous, so be real, be honest! Shoot the picture and email me right now with the first thing that comes to your mind!!
