Looking Glass

Nick Chapman / Looking Glass (new work)

Looking Glass

This is a 4x4 foot copper plate construction and has a set of mirrors inside so as one looks into its interior a reflection of the viewer and the structure appears.
It is a representation of the planet and for me demonstrates the relationship between the two subjects of the viewer and the planet, the beauty of both and the interaction of all. In itself forming a point of comunication between myself and the viewer regarding the subject.
This sculpture is to be cast in either bronze or brass using news paper shaped sections illustrated with certain events and comments but also pages left to be written on by public with sign saying please say what you want and choose one sheet per person, done by arrangement. Inside is a reflecting mirror with five sides.
