Through a Looking Glass

The the main publicity image for my 2015 London exhibition, Through a Looking Glass, this work is a double effect reverse glass painting, done by superimposing one layer of partially painted/partially transparent glass over another, fully painted glass canvas. The effect gives added depth to the work, creating shadow play and a sense of movement as you approach or move past the painting. The image itself features one of the manifestations of 'that Alice girl,' a character who has evolved without conscious intention throughout a series of recent works and whom I can best describe as the 'best of my seven year old self, full of wonder and curiosity in a place of otherworldly imagination.'
