A silhouette of a red bird looking at its reflection in a small mirror. The bars of the cage create vertical stripes across the composition and beyond the bars is a living room set-up with chairs and framed pictures on the wall. Printed in red and green.
This is a state proof for the print 'Mirror phase' by Andrew Cranston. Subsequent trials led to a different colour palette and slightly different final composition.
