Square metre project


This project started with a photograph of a sqm site. I chose the side mirror of my car as I was working on my sculpture project with mirrors at the time. Also the fuel crisis was still on my mind.
The final work comprised a large mirror that was distressed at the back, leaving some reflection exposed. On this, I drew in red felt pen, modern day cars and in green chalk for olden day cars. This was displayed in front of an old traffic light, cycling through red, amber and green on a microwave oven turntable motor. When the light shone green, the olden day cars disappeared and the red cars appeared black. Amber, revealed both images, while the red light exposed the olden day cars.
