Michael Wilkinson — Wanted mirror 7
Michael Wilkinson

Wanted mirror 7

"Wanted Mirror 7" by Michael Wilkinson is a richly layered mixed-media work that combines an etched mirror mounted on a frame with a book page, digital print, painted badge, and beeswax. The reflective surface of the etched mirror draws the viewer into the piece, implicating them within its imagery and text, while the varied materials create a tension between the personal and the archetypal. The addition of beeswax lends the work an organic, almost ritualistic quality, binding together its disparate elements into a cohesive meditation on identity and desire.
