Mixed media, acrylic, canvas on canvas and plaster wraps "Reflections" presents the front and back of a canvas joined together, allowing both sides to be viewed simultaneously. Inviting viewers to play an active role, drawing on their own experiences and imaginations to weave a personal narrative from the elements. On the front canvas, thick impasto paint creates an illusion of spilled milk surrounding a painted baby bottle nipple. A subtle reflection hints at a baby's face on the surface. The back of the canvas reveals the raw canvas and exposed stretcher bars. Here, a 3D baby bottle stands slightly tipped with droplets of spilling milk. Behind it is a suggestive image of a baby's face. This image appears as if it seeped through the canvas from the front. With each viewer acting as the interpreter, “Reflections" invites personal reflection and the creation of unique stories.
