SKY / SEA SERIES
Maud Rowell
This series is made up of five photographs, each one capturing a reflection in a small, circular hand mirror with a red frame. They are all set inside grey-blue mats edged with coppery gold, and a black oval frame. The alignment of the mirror’s shape inside the frames is reminiscent of the shape of a human eye.
1. Clouds faintly touched with blue drift across a rosy, golden sky inside the bounds of the circular mirror, its frame out of focus. This circle of light floats against a background of twilight gathering above a darkening sea.
2. A dark grey tangle of clouds drift across a rosy, golden sky inside the bounds of the circular mirror, its frame out of focus. This circle of light floats against a background of twilight gathering above a darkening sea.
3. Against the backdrop of a grey-blue sky and deep teal ocean, the red-framed mirror captures a bright sunset vista of a house and a few trees in the distance.
4. The round mirror, reflecting bright, rosy golden clouds, floats like a tiny moon against a backdrop of the sea rippling.
5. A hand holds the mirror up against a clear blue sky; reflected inside it is a blurred image of the waves crashing against pebbles.
