Orion shows a dramatic triptych of custom made nebula mirrors,with clouds of silvering flowing across the expanse of glass, layered with coloured translucent resin and further silvering, giving a sense of shifting depth to the piece.
There are two layers of reflectivity, the pure silver giving pure reflection which is gradually replaced where the silver disburses to reveal another reflection seen through the translucent coloured resins. From a distance this piece is read as an artwork, a painting like impression of looking at nebula in the night sky, yet gradually the intrigued viewer realises it is also a mirror.
