Duplex Mirror Rush is a multi-part wall-hung piece installed in the corner of a room, identically bisected by the 90-degree angle of two walls. Both sides hold duplicated mirrored imagery — each a graphical reflection of the other. The material is a composite of mirrored acrylic sheet. The imagery is pulled from some of my previous hand-cut paper pieces; the silhouettes were digitally cut up and reformed, then fabricated on a CNC laser cutter.
Reusing imagery initially created through spontaneous paper cutting has become one of the ways I develop further generations of seemingly ephemeral moments in the practice. In Duplex Mirror Rush, the viewer experiences the typical optical effect of two close mirrored planes — but the reflection here becomes uniquely fractured by the intricately shaped mirror pieces. The original cut paper imagery erodes further through the reflection of light, creating a new type of ephemera.
