Artist Statement
There was a long hallway and at the end I saw a mirror. It was hinged to its support, and I saw it was double sided, as it turned over itself, into itself. Its rotation was led by an unseen force, a gale wind that was somehow steady and peaceful in its thrust. Reflections of nothing, or maybe there was something I couldn't see. I find myself there often, in that place of rotation and bafflement, even. A lack of clarity. A knowingness towards duality. Then in the daytime, still that misunderstanding of space. Disoriented in how ultimately "here" we are, in the today-ness of today. Trying to find pacing with the rhythm.
