Burnt Mirror by Daniel Elkayam

About the Item

Burnt mirror by Daniel Elkayam One of a Kind Dimensions: D 10 x W 27 x H 42 cm Materials: Burnt beech wood Jerusalem-born Art-designer and photographer based in Tel-Aviv. Operating in the field of sustainable home decor and specializing in conceptual design, material exploring, and story-telling through objects. Graduated in 2019 his Bachelor's studies at the Industrial design department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. A former member of the Bezalel Alumni Design Incubator 2020. Won the excellent scholarship of America-Israel cultural foundation of 2019 Inspired by nature and its phenomenons, the artist transforms natural materials and aesthetics into one-of-a-kind unique objects. In his works, Daniel implements his curiosity and yearning for unrefined aesthetics, and by material transformation and unique techniques he is developing in his studio, he shows how unattractive materials can be not only valid but luxurious. Elkayam examines the range between art and design by taking things in and out of their context, creating hybrids between different worlds of content, intervening in natural processes, while leaving a gap for the unexpected, the unknown. He expresses his inner world and illustrates his ideas by creating objects and experiences. Through his perspective of materiality, and empathetic vision of his surroundings, he developed an intuitive way of creation with experimental materials such as algae, corrosion, charcoal, and more. Every collection of objects expresses different material research and follows curious narratives and a variety of topics such as locality, transience, and decay of materials. The Charred Collection: A collection of handmade wooden objects inspired by one of the most powerful natural phenomena in our world, which is out of control. Today the percentage of fires caused by natural causes is significantly lower than those caused by humans. The huge fires quickly deplete the forests, leaving behind a particularly surrealistic view of a burnt, black piece of nature. Out of interest in this show was created the desire to preserve the unique aesthetics of the burnt wood and to express in objects the feelings and questions it raises as a raw material in itself. The same scorched aesthetic combined with everyday objects, on the one hand, serves as a mirror for the consequences of the situation we have created and as a means of dealing with its ecological results, and on the other hand, as a visual echo of fire intensity and aesthetic effects.

I Need a Boy-Toy, Vanity Mirror, Mixed Media Objet D'art
By John Seubert
Located in Chicago, IL
Self-taught artist John Seubert, AKA John Dolly, uses objects he uncovers as he rehabs older homes in Chicago. This piece has two frames that are hinged together. A mirror adorns the outside. When opened, the right panel has a primitive figure painting while the left has a metal plaque with the phrase "I Need a Boy Toy" stamped into it. When closed, the back panel is stamped with "Like I Need a Refrigerator" and signed. John Seubert I Need a Boy-Toy (Like I Need a Refrigerator) mixed media 12.50h x 8.50w x 1.50d in 31.75h x 21.59w x 3.81d cm JSE074 In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago. The apartment was tiny, as hotel rooms tend to be, and clad with paper-thin walls allowing sound to pass from one apartment to the other. At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home. This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...
