Claude Glass
My recent paintings of landscapes taken from old black and white photographs seem to recollect the images bought to life through the old devices 'claude glasses'. These small black mirrors were used by artists, travellers and connoisseurs of landscape and reflected the surroundings transforming them into dark simplified painterly depictions of the reflections.
