Our exhibition at @villanoailles opening today. Featuring works from Seven Stories About Mirrors for @galeriekreo

Convex Mirror Vase
In ancient Rome a round lens-shaped piece was cut out of the surface of a blown glass globe. This disc was coated with a lead on its reverse, creating a convex mirror. The reflection was distorted but fairly bright in appearance. This production technique was used for many hundreds of years. The Convex Mirror Vase narrates the production technique of the first glass mirrors. The vase was created from what remains after the disc for the mirror was removed and placed in the frame on the wall above it.
