Reflecting on the Paradox

Oil on Canvas

This work was made using 4 mirrors to set up reflections of reflections and as a result, when starting to paint the edge of the canvas in the part that was representing the painting of the painting, I discovered there was nothing to paint except the support bar of the easel and I realised the image didn’t exist until I painted it and I couldn’t paint it until it existed - hence my Paradox.
