what is Infinity Mirror?

An infinity mirror occurs when two reflective surfaces cast light back and forth between them an infinite number of times.

Like the light in an infinity mirror, your creative ideas are a radically renewable resource.

This is a radical reimagining of mentoring as being guided not by conscious but unconscious and psychic processes.

This work requires psychic reading on the part of the mentor and the mentee as we pass the beam of light between us.

What emerges is ready to be translated to other people’s consciousnesses. This is a way to create lasting and singular artworks because it goes deep.

Infinity Mirror is mentoring for writers and artists who want to work with beauty, illumination, and infinite possibility in order to get tangible results.

The core focus of the program is the completion of a writing project, but it is designed like an infinity mirror – to help you to use your creative ideas to sustain a lifetime of projects.

How will we work with the concept of the infinity mirror?

This mentoring programme is inspired by artists who have used infinity mirrors in their work (Yayoi Kusama, Arvo Pärt, Guillame Lachapelle).

It is also inspired by Kening Zhu’s concept of the glacier, and the crystal from ‘The Snow Queen’ that allows the viewer to look into endless realms.

Infinity Mirror recognises the multitudes that we all contain, and the boundless creativity available to all of us.

It is not always easy to see into the infinity mirror – the silver is sometimes worn, the glass cracked, the crystal dulled.

But, together, we will work with intention and curiosity to allow your project to emerge in its most authentic and radical form.

To illuminate the endless realms that live inside all of us.

The heart of the project is your own personal infinity mirror where you will collect and keep track of your ideas, sparks, and creative rabbit holes.

You will polish these into crystals.

One crystal can be the source of endless light, reflecting, like an infinity mirror, into the future.

Different crystals will catch your eye at different times. You might use them separately or together.

Your creativity is an endlessly renewable resource; there is no rush and no scarcity.

You can take out a crystal and apply the infinity mirror processes whenever you want to create something or rewild an existing project.

Infinity Mirror will help you to begin the practice of cataloguing your luxurious, and infinite, collection.
