Invitation
2003 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
A printed card invitation, folded once. The front cover features an illustration and appears to show a gloved hand holding a powder compact with mirror, bearing the reflection of an eye and arched eyebrow and the letters 'MK'. The complete image is an illusion however as the compact and mirror are in fact printed on the page behind the front cover, into which is cut two complementary circles. As well as the decontextualised images of eye and 'MK', the interior surface also contains printed details of Martin Kidman's Winter shows in London and Paris.
