CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
As part of an interactive installation, this sculpture of a face form mirror suspended in a black metal circle mounted a pole, fixed to a black stand. The face is a long oblong silhouette with ears and eye-holes allowing the viewer to look through the openings. This work explores perception using mirrors, as an unexpected perspective is achieved when the viewer peers through the eyes in the sculpture and meet the eyes of another person peering through from the other side.
