Setting for a Meta-Vanity Table:
Trans-dimensional Looking Glasses
Two objects with an imagined place in history, deconstructing the limits of linear time and allowing an expansion of the potential of self-reflection. Acts that have often been derided as vanity can—through reflecting upon the possibilities of the expansive/complex self—be re-ascribed as a moment of invitation and investigation. These mirrors provide a locus of self presentation, and re-presentation—multiplying and superimposing several selves simultaneously. These particular pieces are the seeds of eventual installations that will include complete meta-vanity sets dedicated to the alter-egos of artists who used those self-created images to investigate the possibilities which emerge from critical play.
