Rashid Johnson Take a Dive , 2011 Mirrored tile, black soap, wax, and paint, 96 × 72 × 1¾ in. Collection of Nancy Magoon
The mirrored tiles in this work are carefully arranged into a complex, geometric pattern—much like a Roman mosaic—which Johnson then deliberately disrupts with wax and soap, and by cracking and scratching the glass. In this way, the viewer’s reflection is placed into a direct dialogue with the artist’s hand. —HJ
