Infinity Box

Peer into Matt Elson’s light-and-mirror work and watch color, reflection, and perspective multiply into an enveloping optical illusion.

Using color, light and mirrors, optical illusions are created that envelop the viewer when they peer inside. Part of the Awakened Vision Series - artworks that are physical, experiential, create new perspective, and an active awareness of the vision we normally assume. They are about play, fun, interaction, aliveness and conscious awareness.

About the artist

Matt Elson makes things that should not exist. His Infinity Boxes use mirrors, LEDs, and precise geometry to put endless space inside a finite object.
