About the art
Artist statement
Inspired by the Swedish woods, Tuna Kvarn mirror shows the forms of a frozen lake surrounded by thousands of trees.
Inspired by a true story, the irregular forms of the frozen lake are as faithful to reality as the distant memory allowed. The grove around the lake is recreated by 88 pieces in aged cast brass, each presenting as a single tree, in a handcrafted detailed process of adaptation between the pieces.
The rectangular shape of the mirror frame allows the viewer to look at the landscape directly from the camera’s viewfinder to recover the exact moment that Joana didn’t get the chance to photograph.
