Split Mirror is an artwork by artist duo Warther Dixon. Foundational to the duo’s art practice is the idea of embodied learning, whereby the physical experience of the artwork acts as a tool of self discovery. Split Mirror speaks to the psychological defense-mechanism of splitting, where an individual polarizes their consciousness or opinion into a good or bad binary. Temporarily, this eases the discomfort of complexity, but ultimately supports a cognitive dogmatism. The viewer sees the situation from only one side. The artists hope that through the beauty of the work, the viewer will be eased into seeing nuance.

Caitlin Warther is an interdisciplinary light artist whose practice encompasses sculpture and photography in an ongoing investigation into what it means to inhabit space. She recently graduated from The Parsons School of Constructed Environments NYC with an MFA in Lighting Design.

Wendy Dixon is a creative director, designer and artist. Her work straddles design and art, blending light, mirror sculptures and installations into immersive experiences. Her professional background in design allows her to bridge rich graphic narratives with rigorous spatial design.
