The first etched mirrors

The first etched mirrors, Moderate Studio journal, 2015

The first of the mirrors. Old mirror glass set into reclaimed timber frames, the wood still carrying its red paint, the silver backing eaten away in patches to leave an image floating in the glass.

I had been working out a way to draw into a mirror without drawing on it, taking the picture out of the reflective layer itself so it only shows when the light and your angle are right.

These early ones are rough, the frames salvaged, the images half there. A start.
