See Reverse or Care is part o an ongoing series o work that brings to lightthe environmental and social isses srronding the denim indstry in theartists birth contry o Lesotho.

The se o mirrors relates to their se in initiation ceremonies;however, these mirrors are magniying and make viewers appear pside-down.Designed to be interactive, the piece represents the hope that people willmore closely examine their consmer choices.

Contained Space/Space Contained

Negative space is the ertile and illminating space between things, mch more

than jst the absence o something. It is, in a sense, the silence that alls

between the sonds. This is similar to the Japanese concept oMa the natral

pase or interval between two or more phenomena.

For artists will work with the principles oMa and positive/negative space to

create an exhibit in sclptre, ceramics and photography in a way that challenges

or normal perceptions o the world. Two o the artists will create traditional
