I Never Know When

I Never Know When · 1:1

Two identical gothic dolls with black bows, smudged dark eyes, pearl earrings and black Victorian dresses facing each other inside an ornate gold mirror frame, a pink and black checkered hallway receding between them. Signed Magpie.

Two identical dolls in black Victorian dresses and huge satin bows stand on either side of an ornate gold mirror frame, smudged eyes cast down, pearl earrings catching the light. Between them a pink and black checkered hall runs off into the distance and never seems to end. You cannot tell which one is the reflection. The poem behind it talks about 'the mirror turned back on herself' and a 'hall of twisted reflections' that 'isn't much of a fun house,' and this is the hall.

Made from a poem.
