It’s thought mans first conscious use of the mirror image utilised shallow vessels of water, Perlucio evokes this lost quality. Employing centuries old methods of working traditional materials to provide a visual experience, challenging our perception of our environment.
From a distance reflections appear distorted and mysteriously out of focus, refracted light creates the shimmer you find looking at rippled water. Persons moving through the frame do so with a serene fluidity and reality takes on an ethereal peculiarity.
