OUTSIDER
I want to know what haunts me.
The ghosts that obscure my face in the mirror,
that speak in my head when I’m trying to think,
that pull my hands back when I try to reach out.
I know there’s something; I just don’t know what it is yet.
- Kirsty Logan
"OUTSIDER" manifests as a cut vinyl abstracted face, adorning a mirror, prominently placed in the Lawrence Hall Courtyard Garden at the University of Oregon. This unique work transforms mirrors into two-way portals, facilitating a dynamic interaction between humans and spirits. Positioned outdoors, the mirror taps into the potent energy of nature, infusing it with spiritual resonance. As an ethereal bridge, the work explores the profound connections between the physical and spiritual realms, inviting viewers to engage with the reflective surface as a conduit for the convergence of energies, blurring the boundaries between the seen and unseen.
