Artwork Story

Exhibited Laguna Art Museum 1998-9 "Life Lessons: How Art Can Change Your Life"

Judith Spence

This is a classic "Narcissus". The phone number is even upside down to be the reflection, but in addition, the title corrects a traditional misunderstanding about Narcissus: at the heart of the legend Narcissus is desperately trying to reach Echo; he's longing, you see, to make contact with an Other.
