Brittain is interested in both the inside and the outside of a sculptural form. The physical contents of objects are always considered and often the inside is more important than the outside, reflecting our own bodies and experience in general. The works in this series use glass vessels to make circular mirrors that each incase poetic and mysterious materials.
