Colour Discontinuity 2. Optical illusion in mirror.
Mirror, coloured wooden rods. March 2017
A coloured rod reflected in a mirror, positioned so that the reflection in the mirror coincides with another rod of a different color on the other side of the mirror, creating an ambiguous optical effect.
A study in the perception and interpretation of ambiguous visual stimuli annd illusions.
The study of reflections and their interpretation (especially illusions)is a common theme of my work. I have been fascinated by mirrors for most of my adult life, starting as a teenager in the late 1960s when I ground the parabolic mirror of an astronomical telescope that I constructed (It was an eight and a half inch mirror).
