Sister piece of The Distorted Room (I)

“My work is about estrangement and reflection…
The convex mirror is a classic object from the 14th century and onward, seen in the work of 15th century Northern Renaissance painters like Van Eyck, Petrus Christus and Bosch. The convex mirror traditionally had a strong connection with mystery and the unknown…
In the convex glass of my work is seen both the inner world and the outer world… The artwork behind the glass and the reflection of the room in which it’s situated… This combination gives both connection and estrangement. You see the work but at the same time you see the room you’re in. The reflected room seems strange and distorted. You are mixed with the object you’re looking at. You become part of the work… But your room is distorted… “
