Hi world,

I am starting a new visual experiment, I just purchased a really nice 1860´s french mirror with a golden wooden frame in an trustful antique shop in Notting Hill.

Years ago I started to use vinyl stickers over mirror glasses, as a way to enforce the materiality of the surface: Material versus illusion, I would say. I call them: "Surface Invaders".
The idea is back again, with a less conceptual but more aesthetic goal, building up on the doodles I keep doing while at the meetings. The reason why I use the doodles is because its the closer thing to random creation I can think about, and at the end of the day, creation relies on instints and shape is just an issue of random numerical combination.

Bellow the first draft I've done tonite as away of showcasing it. The reflection is not of my current flat, but it looks like my future one.

You could also put stickers onto the photograph with the same purpose: to make the surface manifest. Photographs are also sometimes 'transparent'.
Very cool, tronquito. Really liked it.

Lupa: you might be a weird kind of vampire... it is not that you're not reflected in mirrors, but you cannot see them.
