MIR.24.III

This sculptural piece materialized as clay descended from my hands – surrendering to gravity's pull in a moment of intentional release. MIR.24.III emerged with its alien-like form, high curved plateaus defining its silhouette as the material met the floor. Enveloped in Celestian Mirror – a deep, reflective gunmetal glaze that captures light like liquid metal – the surface exhibits a mirror-like sheen punctuated by crystalline formations that emerge like stars against a night sky. These galactic accents create a celestial landscape that shifts with viewing angle, offering moments of prismatic light against the rich metallic depth. The incorporation of authentic ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption embeds the piece with geological memory, bridging Earth and cosmos. 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.
