Smithson's Grandmother
two upright mirrors at 45-degree angle, skull, human bones 3’ x 2.5’ x 4.5’ I wanted to make a beautiful doily pattern by using something eerie. In this work, two pieces of mirrors were set at a 45-degree angle and a skull and many human bones were placed between them to create eight repeated doily-like patterns. Death is not an illusion like this doily that is created by reflections of mirror, but it is a reality like the bones you see right in the front. original: 2005, rearranged: 2021
