In visual perception, an optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is an illusion caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that arguably appears to differ from reality.

I have always been fascinated by optical illusions ever since I was a child, when I first saw the optical illusion called, cruelly, “My wife and my mother-in-law”, www.thesun.ie/tech/8917436/spot-all-women-optical-illusio... which depicts a young lady turning away from the viewer (my wife) and an old crone with a hooked nose and chin with a grimace buried into her fur tippet (my mother-in-law). It first appeared on a German postcard in 1888.

I tried my own trick of the eye optical illusion using a late Nineteenth century chromolithograph of an eye with an Art Nouveau hand mirror, placed carefully to make the reflection appear as though it is a continuation of a depiction of the eye. I do hope you like it

This distressed stainless steel mirror features a unique antique-style patina, creating a vintage, timeworn look. Encased in a wooden frame, the mirror’s aged effect enhances rustic, industrial, and bespoke interiors. Its subtle imperfections make it a statement piece, perfect for adding depth and character to any space, whether used as wall décor, in bathrooms, or as part of a feature wall.

DADDY: "Hullo Cornelia!"

CORNELIA: "Hullo Daddy, although..." *Grumbles.* "I'm not sure I am talking to you right now."

DADDY: "Goodness, why ever not, dear Cornelia?"

CORNELIA: "Well! You might have warned me, Daddy!" "Pouts.*

DADDY: "Warned you, Cornelia darling? Of what?"

CORNELIA: "That you were going to invite a bear as pretty as me to come and live with us!" *Disgruntled.*

DADDY: "But I haven't, Cornelia darling!"

CORNELIA: "Yes you have Daddy!"

DADDY: "No I haven't!"

CORNELIA: "Yes you have!" *Adamant.* "She's in here!" *Holds up hand mirror.* "Look! She is teasing me by moving her lips just as I am!"

DADDY: *Chuckles.*

CORNELIA: "This isn't funny, Daddy! Quite the contrary! This is no laughing matter!"

DADDY: "Oh I'm sorry to laugh, Cornelia darling! But I am only laughing because that isn't another bear."

CORNELIA: "Yes it is, Daddy!"

DADDY: "No it isn't, Cornelia. It's your reflection!"

CORNELIA: "My reflection?" *Takes up mirror again and looks at the glass.* "Oh! I did think there was something rather familiar about her, Daddy. Oh well!" *Sighs.* "That is a relief! In that case, as this is my reflection, you are forgiven, Daddy."

DADDY: "Oh... err... thank you, Cornelia darling."

CORNELIA: "And you may cuddle me."

DADDY: "Oh thank you, Cornelia darling!"

CORNELIA: "You are welcome, Daddy!"

Cornelia, I found in an antique and vintage market quite recently. She is a vintage edition Russ Bear from their Mohair Collection. She is made of deliberately mottled mohair to give her that vintage look. One of a limited edition of 10,000, she was designed by artist Carol Hosfstad and is completely handmade.

Daydreaming. Something I do quite often when left alone. I’m one who mulls over the past… of what could have been and what life would look like now if certain decisions were made differently. Being inside for so long doesn’t allow for many distractions that would often pull me away from that downward spiral. Behind this door, I see the mirror symbolising so many things (daydreaming just being one example)…the storm we’re battling. I’d love to hear your interpretations.

Our lockdown was extended last week for another 7 days and it’s looking like it’ll continue for longer than that. Stay safe, Sydney
