In 2011 I began seeing abstract paintings in the kaleidoscopic reflections in urban architecture that led me on a journey to ten cities thus far in search of this art. I see the reconfigurations of reality in the mirrored surfaces of The City Reflections Project as a metaphor for how we interpret what we see and how we make sense of what is in front of us. While we can look directly at the world we can never truly see it. Without intention reality is inevitably distorted through the lens of our personal histories, much as light on a windowpane deforms the objects it reflects. Even with our distortions there are elements of reality most of us could agree on and this is why concrete objects (a bank sign or a car parked on a rooftop garage) appear in these dream-like images to illustrate the dichotomy between truth and illusion.
