A Kind of Magic plays with the optical illusion. It’s a modern version of the 19th-century Pepper’s Ghost illusion. It forces us to think can we believe our eyes as the magic trick is done and revealed at the same time.
The work takes different forms of matter into a playful treatment. What can we create with bottled air? Will the glow of the coals create heat, and will the heart-shaped cloud eventually form from smoke, steam, haze, or magic? No smoke with out fire?
