Thinking about Mirror Neuron Theory, about time passing, make believe and imagination. These two pieces were an attempt at mirror drawing: looking at found elements of nature in my studio, allowing lines and forms to develop instinctively then recreating similar lines and forms on the opposite side of the matrix. Drawing for a few minutes, then mimicking the opposite. Painting, then mimicking the opposite. They are not an attempt at perfection but a play on curtailing wildness, at allowing the imagination to build an unhinged narrative. Although I have hundreds of photographs (Exploring Totem series) that originally inspired these, there are only two pieces in this series.
