Mirrors are the skin of modern urban architecture, but they are also ubiquitous in domestic interiors. Robert Pulie evokes this intimate space with a dressing-table 'vanity unit'. Pulie describes W (2007-9) as 'a concrete pun as you are seeing two reverse-mirror-reverse reflections of yourself ... mirrors at ninety degrees ... maintain a true (not reverse) reflection of the viewer ... because (as I learnt in high school science) the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection, and the two reflective surfaces are at ninety degrees to one another'.
