Couples in Art, 2010

Leo and Claire

Digital prints 19x13 in

This series enlists the optical illusion of figure ground reversal and references black / white silhouette portraits popular from the mid 18th c. Instead of the classic double portrait (credited to Edgar Rubin, 1925) couples face each other to form the illusion of wonky, yet convincing goblets.
