Artist's Inspiration
Ambiguous – open your thoughts to more than one interpretation, not an obvious meaning.
The Looking Glass. Imagine being on the other side of the glass, being able to look out of the pools. A rock pool holds so much intrigue. When one peers into them, the details of form and colour are captivating. The Looking Glass is an expressive visual display of being inside the pools with the forms and intrigue spilling around you.
The imagery portrays an old hand-held mirror, with elements surrounding your vision from the inside.
The composition alone was time consuming to create an image to portray what my intention was, then the control of restricting the elements to not over shadow the actual glass form.
