Michael Petry’s new book Mirror Mirror featuring Tine Bech.

Tine’s work featured in Michael Petry’s new book Mirror Mirror. More than 150 artworks have been collected in a new book, drawing together sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs and more.

Summer Cloud I Dream of You (2021), is featured – this large public sculpture is created from mirror surveillance domes to relict the world in new ways. Originally commissioned by Canary Wharf (London UK).

“Historically, a mirror in a painting was a lens into another world or visual space,” says the book’s author, artist Michael Petry. “They also allowed artists to show the viewer more than one view point at a time, suggesting the complexity of our world and our relationship to it.” Self-portraits, and increasingly selfies, are a recurring theme. “It is clear that as humans, we are amazingly interested in our own image. It could be mere vanity but also I think mirrors show us the passage of time etched on our faces.”
