The Looking Glass Lounge
This project was shown in several places. Solo exhibitions/installations at HAUS gallery in Pasadena, California, The Los Angeles Art Association in Los Angeles, The Riverside Art Museum in Riverside, California and a window installation at the Homestead House in Pasadena, California through Phantom Galleries.
The Looking Glass Lounge explores the nature of beauty and self-worth in time, and looks for the truth in fiction, reflecting individual voices of popular fictional female characters from various cultural/historical time periods. Mirrors - associated with vanity, reflection and self-analysis - seemed to me to be a natural medium for this exploration. I think of the mirror as holding the spirit of the character and the vanity as holding the physical life and/or relics of the character. An atmosphere that is beautiful and secluded (a.k.a. a ladies lounge) appears to me to be a perfect context for this investigation.
