Only a mirror can tell the objective beauty of the sea.

Sentinel is a simple optical device inspired by the camera obscura that, since 1880, has drawn many visitors to Aberystwyth, Wales. This in-situ sculpture, with its large convex mirror, offers a new point of view of the town’s spectacular seascape. It was created in the spring of 2009 at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre as part of the Québec/Cymru artist and studio-residency exchange program, and was installed by the footpath leading up to the camera obscura on top of Constitution Hill.
