A Wheel of Mirrors and Rolled Paper
Published · Updated
A large circular wall piece fills the plaster wall beside an open garden door. Pale rolled-paper rods form concentric rings, with short diagonal pieces creating triangular openings between them. Small round mirrors sit among the spokes and reflect patches of blue sky, green foliage and the sunlit room. A larger central mirror gives the radial pattern a clear focal point.
The construction has a tactile, handmade quality. Tight coils, overlapping rods and slight variations in the pale surface remain visible across the wheel. Its shallow relief throws fine shadows against the warm wall. The oblique view reveals both the thickness of the rings and the careful rhythm of the smaller triangular spaces.
An empty wooden bench runs beneath the piece, with a striped linen cushion at one end. Outside the open door, ferns and a leafy tree fill a small courtyard. Sunlight passes through the leaves and scatters moving-looking patches across the floor and plaster. The mirrors bring small pieces of that garden into the circular design, joining the crafted object to the room around it.
