View from Inside

Mirrored acrylic, brass, lacquer 2 x 10 feet.

Mirror is opulent. It adorns as it catches the light and reflects its surroundings. My work exploits this surface so that the viewer—and the space—become integral components of the work. This reciprocal relationship activates the sculpture as much as it does the space, playing with expectations of visual language and conceptions of what is inside and what is outside, what is public and what is private, and what is flat and what is three-dimensional.

This artwork was made possible with the support of the Wassaic Project as part of the exhibition So it Goes. All photos by Joshua Simpson on behalf of the Wassaic Project.
