With NOW-ID, I am researching reflectivity in relation to upcoming work and will be sharing some of the things inspiring us over the next few months. I picked these three images and arranged them as you see, further sculpting the artist’s sculpting of reality through reflectivity, layering, and symmetry. Anish Kapoor’s 'Cloud Gate” (top) creates a fluid, distorted gateway, drawing inspiration from liquid mercury to invite viewers to become active participants in their environment. Doug Aitken’s 'Mirage' projects—whether the 'Mirage House' in the desert (middle) or 'Mirage Detroit' within a historic bank (bottom)—utilize the archetypal form of the suburban ranch house as a "human-scale lens". Both Kapoor and Aitken use reflection to dissolve boundaries where subject and surroundings merge in a state of constant flux, creating space that is both engaging and disorienting.
