Dragonfly represents Marc’s signature style of creating 3d optical illusions with just two mirrors. He removes the mirror and replace it with hand painted paper. The ‘third’ side is the base and this is hand painted too. The floating dragonfly is made from glass on the torch using lampworking techniques to create the bug. The wings are made from dichroic glass, then attached to the body. Finally, alcohol inks are used to paint the body of the bug. The exterior is also painted glass. A liquid filled cell is then mounted it to yhr external bearing, allowing for perfect and precision movement of the object cell.
