Biography

Mirror, 2015 describes the smooth reflective surface of a piece of mirrored glass that confronts us directly, but betrays no reflection of the camera that has rendered it, or of the room within which it hangs. In this sense it represents a failed expectation —a trompe l’oeil— but its failure is a function of the presumption the picture engenders about perspective, not of the glass itself.
