How very considerate of Mr Ward to provide you with such a play space! You have certainly made the most of it! The appearance overall is of a very successful collage but I like the tree seen through the gap the most. The echoing of paths across the bottom of the reflections is also fun.
I just like that slither through the middle - it holds it all together. Shame about the right bottom panel - looks like someone needs to run a damp cloth over the sculpture. Apart from that plenty of disjoints to appeal to me. A visual feast.
a confusing picture, the central most clear area is the holding feature and probably the only spot to stand not to get your own reflections.
I can understand your fascination with this sculpture, one that would drive me nuts finding angle after angle to look at it from.
I bet this has impact when large and on a wall. I want that central slither to seem more like something I could reach into. At this scale it seems like I can't.
Why make stuff up when the world is this crazy anyway.
Very nice, a wonderful disorienting photograph. Even when given the clue about the middle, I am still not sure as to which surface is not reflected. I agree about that hazy bottom right panel, but given the abstract nature of this, even that part still works well. Must have been a lot of fun!
