I wanted to make a simple form based on an oval for a show at Burnley Harbour. I had just made “Lake” and I thought to use the mirror mosaic on both sides. I called it shield and it has a form like a tribal shield.The broken reflection echoes the warlike faces often added to shields to scare people but then it also reflects the person near it and how we often create an image of ourselves which is not a complete true image but often a reflection of what other people want to see which we use as a shield
