“Art is not just about what’s great or expensive or scandalous or famous. It’s a mirror we hold up that looks different to everyone who sees it, and whose beauty lies as much in us, and our capacity to dream . . . “ —Michael Kimmelman

“Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.” —Catherine Drinker Bowen
As both artist and a writer, the reflections of mirrors and the act of mirroring attract me. Reflections, especially, as refractions of light, image and whereabouts fascinate me. Today’s reflections are crystal-clear mirror images, be they in water or in windows.
Come back again tomorrow, for a gallery of distortions, all caused by reflections, and compare the experience of hazy reflections with clear ones. ♣
