Catalogue Note
“Scully’s 'mirrors' allude to this dualistic philosophical view of the self in relation to the external world. When two panels of stripes are conjoined, we seek some visual relationship between them... Which side is the original–and which is the mirror reflection? That question is unanswerable.”
David Carrier (quoted in Sean Scully, London, 2004, p. 171)
