About the art

Artist statement
LIQUID is a series of wall mirrors that play with optical textures.
Partially distressed circular mirror is imbedded into the cast concrete disk with pigments that document the flow of concrete while poured into the mold, making each mirror unique.
This image shows one example, and the order will be cast new.
The combination of flowing patterns of pigmented concrete and the distressed part of the mirror creates a new layer to the presence of mirror in space as well as to the act of looking into the mirror.
The concrete disks are in different sizes from 35cm to 50cm in diameters, and about 7mm thick. This one is 50cm diameter.
Swivel mechanism is attached in the back, which lifts the disk off from the wall and enables the disk to be rotated to the desired orientation as well as periodical changes of appearance in space.
LIQUID draws our attention to the surface pattern as optical texture as we look closely at the reflection on the mirror, giving a unique visual presence in space (while also evoking the image of the moon in the night sky with moving clouds.)
