Perspective makes me wobbly
Perspective is a funny thing - especially when used by someone clever to mess up your brain. This is exactly what artist Patrick Hughes has been doing for the past 40 years.
Hughes is the inventor of a visual technique called reverspective. It’s a difficult concept to describe and I don’t pretend to understand it in the slightest. However, I’m more than willing to give a half-baked and underwhelming explanation. Fundamentally, he builds corrugated canvasses (zig-zagging towards and from you) and paints reverse perspectives on them. So a point coming towards you would have have something that looks like it’s going away from you painted on it. The result is unnerving and a little odd, the best way to understand is to have a look at the video on his site.
Sometimes you look at something and it makes you go, “Wow!”. I think this qualifies.
