"Through the Looking Glass"
digitally manipulated drawing, post proposal study by Mick Mather

My proposal for a conceptual art piece to be displayed in the Everson Unwrapped event at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York made the final cut this week and I'll soon be busy creating two trees, if possible. I thought you all might be interested to see how that part of the process is accomplished and below is the actual proposal submitted:

• stacked sheets of found glass in the shape of half a tree
• installed against a mirror so the whole tree is revealed as a reflection of itself
• a round hollow feature midway between bottom and top is the single ornament composed of empty space
• when you bend to look into the ornament, you see your own reflection (the viewer is now the ornament)
  

A rough sketch was added, a nod to Lewis Carroll for the title and, voila! Another proposal completed and submitted.
