In Glass Houses, I capture split-second deconstructions of my own reflection by manipulating flexible mirror boards made from polyester film. The light and color sensitivity of the surface is similar to water, creating a reflection which passes through countless configurations in a fraction of a second.
In this project, I confront questions of self-image and the ways in which our interior worlds conflict with our exterior form. How does the image that we present to the world differ from what we see when we look in the mirror? If our desires, fears, secrets and vulnerabilities were manifested physically, what might they look like?
The process of working with these mirrors acts like a screen for my subconscious mind, often answering questions and revealing deeper aspects of my hopes, fears, and memories in the resulting image.

Biography
Kalliope Amorphous has been exploring dreamlike and surreal stories through fine art, portraits, experimental photography, and conceptual art for more than ten years. Whether she is digging into her own mind in self-portraits, taking pictures of the people and places around her, or trying out new conceptual ideas, Amorphous takes the viewer to a place where loneliness and fragility are balanced by moments of beauty.
Amorphous is a self-taught photographer who comes up with her own ways to take pictures. She does this by making her own lighting and trying out different materials, surfaces, mirrors, and in-camera distortion techniques. A lot of Amorphous's work uses reflections, blur, mirrors, and multiple exposures to lead the viewer through the artist's favorite themes: identity, death, time, and consciousness.
Kalliope is known all over the world for her creative and conceptual photography work. Her photos have been published and shown all over the United States and the world. They are in private collections in Spain, Romania, Germany, Holland, India, Russia, and the United States, among other places. She spends time in both Providence, Rhode Island, and New York City right now.
