“Through the Looking Glass” is the red thread between all my series. Because of Lewis Carroll’s novel, The Looking Glass has since become a metaphor for bizarre happenings.

I have created a timeless technique that stops you in your tracks, evoking a variety of emotions all from a single image.

Borrowed from Richard Prince's paintings (the king of appropriation art), the cow-boy represent an idealized figure of American masculinity, the mythological archetype of the wandering night. IIt has been suggested that this work raise the question of what is real, what is a real cow-boy and what makes it sot..
