This shape might be a good base for the glass maquette of the camouflaged bunker/ house work I'd like to make, based around a German plan for a WW2 fairly common casemate in Guernsey.

Entranced by Jeremy Millar's "Projector" at the Ikon Gallery. The work is in part from a Borges story 'The Mirror of Ink' (1933), which in turn relates a story by Richard Francis Burton in 'The Lake Regions of Equatorial Guinea' (1859) detailing a mirror of ink poured into the palm of the right hand.
This is part of a period of visual research into WW2 bunkers and camouflage, Sir Thomas Browne's Garden of Cyrus and Urne Burial and Persian gardens and textile designs. Funded by Arts Council England, East.
