Mirrors

My mirror sculpture has been a refreshing challenge.

The first challenge was where to get the broken mirror shards to paste to my wall. Fortunately, the full length mirror I posted on my wall in my new apartment fell off and shattered, leaving me some shards to work with.

Only half the mirror broke, though, so I beat the other half with a hammer.

I tried duct tape to post to a corner of my wall,
But it slid down my wall and fell.

I tried scotch tape,
Same fate.

I tried plasticine (#1, the kind we used in our studio models), rubbed on the back of the shards. The shards stuck just fine, and are sticking up on the wall like champs. This combination of broken mirror and clay has opened up a new medium for me, with some fun potential.


Our new apartment is mint, and I'm happy to call this little place home.

My nightly dreams are in a shoebox, tucked in a dark corner of my brain. I only open them by accident, and they always feel like a bad monster movie.
