“Sited in an open farm courtyard, the mirrored homes reflect the surroundings and
extend the visual habitat of the birds creating alternative optical perspectives. Shiny
and unfamiliar the homes act as a sharp visual contrast to what is around. They also
have a significant effect on the behaviour of the birds and as a result, interaction
takes place. Unable to enter the new structures the birds see themselves possibly
for the first time. The work questions and plays with the notion of enclosure. Seen
in isolation, the mirrored house appears to dissolve into the environment”
