For my visual response to Wilson’s work I bought a mirrored bowl and filled the bottom with soil from my garden, I added four miniature model trees, I did this so that when I looked inside the bowl then the trees would reflect of the mirrors creating an illusion of a forest. As the mirrors aren’t smooth the reflection is distorted which I like because it also reminds me of Peter Prendergast’s painting Summer Trees. As the light hits the reflection it enhances the distorted shapes and colours creating an unnatural, abstract world.
