In my work I've tried to orchestrate elements from our common environment into a composition that is an arrangement of the view through, and reflection of clear glass. The combination of familiar elements fused with unexpected perspectives create a unified graphic composition. The viewer is invited to experience new spatial associations between everyday places, such as inside and outside, simultaneously. When images from inside/outside or forward/backward are merged, a new in-between space is encountered and elements together have the chance to grow and create new meaning. The simultaneously transparent and reflective surface of the glass is their meeting point. Through the glass I'm trying to re-associate images, originating in the physical world, with the viewers imagination.
In my images I synthesise two distinct and unique elements recognised by the viewer as something that should be separate. The merging of the forms raises the question with the viewer about traditional concepts about place and space. The compositional organisation is the catalyst bringing together the two distinct elements, while maintaining the tension between the two. The work is about those mystical compositions that the reflections can create not merely about them as reflections. The glass is the key to create the magic of a new visual understanding of a multi-layered world.
