OK, I found this in the Salvation Army store in Cockeysville, Maryland today. And I am only going to explain this once:
It's a mirror with painting on the mirror, of a woman looking in a mirror and the woman in the mirror of the painting of the mirror is looking at the woman looking into the painting of the mirror, while the same woman in the painting of the on the mirror of the painting of the woman in the mirror is looking at you through her reflection of the woman in the painting who is looking at the woman looking into the mirror.
Is that clear?
And no I didn't buy it. It is simply too Meta for my house.
UPDATE: As of 9/10/2016 this Object d'Art has been PURCHASED. But not by Cookie or his husband. Someone now has this hanging over their couch.
interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd if we hung it in a room across from ANOTHER mirror, can you see how interesting it could get?

ReplyDeleteDid ypu notice that the arms are all different directions?
DeleteWait.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
Exactly.
DeleteMy mind is broken now.
ReplyDeleteNow, can you imagine your students writing what they see?
DeleteI have to ask a question of its creator. WHY? Jx
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a well meaning attempt to take back and take ownership in the pride of African traditions for women of color whose ancestors were taken from their home continent against their will. But it didn't quite execute the way it should have. Hence, the best of intentions gone horribly wrong.
