Spheres in a mirror
Mirror, wood, acrylic 29x29x6cm May 2024
A sculptural work composed of coloured hemispheres reflected in a mirror to create the illusion of complete spheres.
The mirror is a front coated mirror so that there is no gap between the hemispheres resting on the surface of the mirror and the reflection.
The sculpture includes one complete sphere that creates the effect of a pair of spheres when reflected. This sphere is there for compositional purposes, but it fortuitously helps to emphasise the nature of the reflections of the hemispheres.
This work can be wall mounted or can be displayed horizontally.
The work explores the themes of mirrors, reflections and illusions that have featured recurrently in my work over the decades.
