Echo Chamber & The Seeds of the Narcissi is a series by Bella Easton of giant peep shows constructed from layered woodcut prints, cut and assembled into immersive internal environments. Unfolding as a spatial choreography of mirrored surfaces, printed veils, and sculptural cut-outs, the installation invites viewers to look through as well as at – navigating tunnel-like constructions that evoke inner landscapes shaped by memory, light, and distortion.
Composed of silk organza, woodcut on Japanese paper, and mirrored elements, these layered passages become shifting perceptual spaces where surface becomes portal and image becomes atmosphere. The oil pigment allows light to filter through the thin paper, so that images are seen from behind as well as within. Blurring the line between interior and exterior worlds, the work combines natural motifs with abstract geometry in a quiet dialogue of repetition, rupture, and spatial dissonance – creating a quiet interplay of reflection, fragmentation and reverie.
Drawing on the myth of Echo and Narcissus, the work explores themes of reflection, perception, and emotional resonance. Inspired by the idea of the echo as both repetition and distortion, Easton constructs immersive, tunnel-like spaces that echo the psychological dynamics of longing, memory, and self-regard. The “seeds of the narcissi” suggest both natural growth and mythic symbolism – inner landscapes taking root and multiplying within quiet, reflective chambers.
