‘Reflection #9’ was inspired by the reflection in glass of a large cement parking structure.  I was caught by surprise at its transformation and had to look several times to assure that what I was seeing was the reflection of that particular structure.  Though the building itself is dark and very utilitarian, the reflection at twilight reminded me of funhouse mirrors at the carnival – full of organic lines and shapes that carry a degree of both excitement and serenity.
