Pavement Mirrors and Denim Mantles
Wall art pieces
These wall art pieces were designed as part of the exhibition RECLAIM Thy Self. This exhibition was inspired by natures ability to reclaim the man made and beauty in decay.
The Pavement Mirrors and Denim Mantles helped to set the scene of an abandoned building immersive exhibition space. Another of my favourite features of the interiors of abandoned buildings are mantle pieces and mirrors. They are often the last remaining parts of a lounge or dining area.
“As artists, we are often trying to communicate messages. I guess I would like to inspire people to think about what they can do to reduce or reuse waste.”
The Pavement Mirrors also draw inspiration from the cracks you find in the pavement. Where natures continues to soldier on poking it’s way through the cracks. Only needing the smallest space. I think they are also reflective of the journey of life and our continual re-evaluation of ourselves and that we sometimes we use mirrors to examine these facets.
As part of my socially conscious art, where I consider the environment by reducing the use of new raw materials, and using ‘waste’ instead, I have used mirrors found on the road side and up-cycled materials.
The denim mantle pieces demonstrate the beauty in decay, with fungus making it’s way into the wood amongst the peeling paint.
The RECLAIM Thy Self exhibition created a unique blend of art meets nature meets fashion.
