Kara Joslyn’s optical illusions permeate through a multi-dimensional mirrored sculpture in GOOD THING YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Based on an original painting, a pair of candles are suspended alight within an ornate mirror, reflecting Joslyn’s holographic techniques. Perspex layering allows natural light to flood the piece, creating the illusion of an artwork frozen in liminal space. A monochrome mirage of light and shadow compliments the mirrored layer within, empowering the piece to tread the line between surrealism and realism.

Medium

Clear sculptural object comprised of 9 acrylic perspex sheets, encased in 2 sheets of museum grade Optium acrylic. Each work has 5 sheets printed with 4 UV flatbed layers, and one mirror ink silk screen layer.

Behind the scenes

Kara Joslyn1 collaborationJoslyn makes her own paint mixing optical-car-paint-pigments into acrylic base. She approaches paint as a type of metallic material, not an arrangement of colour. Her unconventional process lends each canvas a holographic feeling, suspending each figure in a middle ground which is not quite of this world, yet not purely an extension of individual imagination. Illusion is collapsed onto illusion, creating a dense field of sincerity and visual deception. All of her work is airbrushed on canvas using masking techniques that were originally invented to create graphic design and illustration before computers. Joslyn’s subjects are often portrayed against a black, boundless background. This creates multi-dimensional 3D illusions, harnessing a mystifying quality. Joslyn describes the light in her painting as “moonlight”. Bathed in this iridescent moonlight, her subjects are never what they seem.
