Stove Top, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

There’s a bit of magic in any kitchen. Food is life. Looking in the reflections on this stove top I am transported to the peculiar working world of food magic—one that is different but not pristine. You can see the scratches and patina from use. But beyond the surface the world bends in curvature. If you look carefully, you can even see my tripod in the mirror world.
