MIR.24.I

This piece merged in a spontaneous descent – a slab of clay transformed by gravity's gentle command in the spring of 2024. Its surface tells a story of elemental convergence: gunmetal mirrored glaze mingles with ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull eruption, while fragments of Greek sea glass catch and scatter light like memories of Aegean shores. Mounted on hand-welded backing crafted by Taylor Forrest Studios in New York's Hudson Valley, the piece is completed by custom metalwork oxidized to a deep gunmetal black. The sculpture is illuminated by dimmable LED lighting, offering control over its luminous presence, and can be configured for either hardwire installation or plug-in convenience. When lit, #MIR.24.I reveals the dialogue between earth and light, structure and chance – a meditation on the beauty of impermanence made lasting.
