This image started with the ornate picture frame that was on a wall in the local pub, being illuminated (right to left) by a large window. The frame contained a whimsical illustration and caption. I soon got rid of that! Searching through my library, I came across the photo of the beach on Lady Musgrave Island. This was named after the colonial governors (Sir Anthony – 1828-1888) wife who used to visit it to have picnics. I propped the frame against the dead trees at the water’s edge. I then put a photograph in the empty space I had of my hand reflected in the wing mirror as I was driving in Australia (?) I decided to isolate my hand and put another photo of the beach further along. This gave the allusion of a mirror, albeit with an outsized hand!
