A more focused investigation


 I will be exploring the difference in approach and intentions in which mirrors are used in art such as to: copy, echo, emulate, reflect, show, or to even create a cyber world within this material. I will be focusing my area of investigating on the relationship between the work, the mirror image, the body, and site. I intend to investigate how the medium of mirror is used in art not only as a sculptural response but as a site specific response. In my opinion site specific work re-defines how we approach/read, and understand the work, and look at the context of which the work is shown. The work is presented, but also is the space in which it is situated. In the use of mirrors in site specific work, the mirror can represent a different order of space, I plan to explore the different ways in which mirrors are used to create spatial analysis, in relation to the body.


Here I've experimented with two domestic mirrors that I have broken in selected place to fragment the effect of the mirror. The two pictures here demonstrate how different view points and perspective and perception, reflected back to the viewer. This depends on the angle of viewing the mirror and the location and placement of the mirrors which also interact with it's surrounding site, light and movement.


Again I was attempting to create an optical illusion to the eye, I have used the original frame from the mirrors Ihave been using and repectedly colour photocopied the frames and inserted inside one another. I wanted to created a piece of work that questioned the frame work and content in which art is perceived.

I later added an magnified sheet to exaggerate the effect on the naked eye.


I explored placing the mirrors in a variety of postions.



Then tried the effect similar to the photocopies I layered the mirrors.
