One of the adventures of working with mirror is that its properties can be used in so many ways. A shadow puppet escapes from the wall to hover in space. The light of a lamp suggested by white paint, places one illusion into another. Images half seen through the silvering appear to recede or emerge, Alice-like, from another dimension. Skulls, planets and butterflies can defy physics – or not – to float in mid-air.
