On View
On view"Mirrors alter and question our perception of our surroundings and ourselves ... Mirrors make us reflect on our own presence by addressing our physical and mental experience of an environment and our position within it. My mirror installations always refer to the presence of the visitor and the artwork in the space, asking the audience: Why are you here? What are you doing here? How do you observe artwork and space? How are you observed by artwork and space?
