Scrying Mirror #1

Silver gelatin print on vintage freestanding mirror. (390x200mm)

Made by coating the surface of the mirror with silver gelatin, and projecting onto it the image from a 35mm black and white negative of the canopy of trees in Bonchurch Undercliff on the Isle of Wight. The glass is then developed in the dark room, and fixed with a chemical called ‘Black Magic’.

The image side of the glass is exposed, so must be treated carefully (as you would treat the surface of a photograph).

The image on the mirror is ever-changing as the ambient light changes.

This is № 1 in an ongoing series of scrying mirrors.
