Michelle Woolley mirrors

Sanctuary show, February 2006. Michelle Woolley hand paints, layer upon layer, wooden mirror frames, encrusted with Swarovski crystals (which looked stunning against the stained glass). "Versailles" $6,900. "Fruit of the Spirit" $4,800. From the curator: "A true house of worship should not only encourage outward adoration of the Creator, but also inward reflection. Michelle Woolley's mirrors are placed facing the pews, purposely promoting more than a glance, but a stare. Imagine spending an entire hour, listening to hymns and sermons, and being forced to really look at yourself, whether you like it or not. I think mirrors should be installed in all pews!"
