In 2013 I made Spiegel II and I already had the idea to try it with an ellipse, an oval frame. An oval can also be interpreted by the eye, the viewer, as a circle in perspective. The only problem for me was , you just don’t make an oval frame or better two very easy. A least not from solid woord. Recently, while googling, I came across Achter de dijk in Schagen, North Holland. They make round and oval frames in various sizes from good quality wood. I immediately ordered a few tot try them. Apart from painting, I only edited the small frame a bit so that I can drop it into the ‘glass’.
