"A running image through many of the works in the show is a red, lacquer mirror either being held by a woman or used as a window through which to view a portion of an image underneath. The feminine perspective on beauty and self is explored for it is a mirror meant for a woman's dressing table. Being hand held, this mirror illustrates a measure of control over what is chosen to be viewed, reflected or reflected upon. As a relatively small mirror it forces a close examination. While there is no hiding from the clarity of the image reflected one does run the risk of not seeing the forest for the trees."
