REFLECTIONS

2021 Wall mounted sculpture in fine silver (sealed against tarnishing) and crocheted cotton thread. 4.5cm x 1.9cm x 1.3cm. Mirror, mirror, is she reflecting my subconscious small when she says these hurtful things to me? Is that her own hurt there writhing in the gaps between the strips of hard exterior? It helps me to think of her like this. It makes me fear her less and care for her more. To be almost grateful for reflected light shone on my own part in this charade. Mirror, mirror, are we doing some kind of dance with and for each other at these times? Help me to make this dance the last. Exhibited in The House of Smalls as part of the Mirror Mirror on the Wall exhibition 2021, then as part of the SIX exhibition at Quay Arts, Newport, Isle of Wight; followed by display in the cottage "nook" at Ever Garden sculpture garden and cottage, Brighstone, Isle of Wight. Available to purchase.
