Fracture Mirror by Simon Johns
About the Item
Made of glass and smashed gypsum cement, the Fracture Mirror references the striations and accidental geometries of sedimentary stone. This statement mirror also nods to the use of plaster in the sculptors atelier, a material who’s use can be traced back to the Egyptians of 7000 B.C. A beautiful contemporary statement piece that plays with light and reflections.
The Fracture Collection is a series of works that embody the contradictory qualities of rock as being organic yet structural, solid yet fragile. Cleaved bodies of rock create accidental geometries, dictated by structural irregularities. These geometries, repeating angles and volumes are the thread that connects the work. Outcrops of stone protruding through the earth’s crust, or cliffs along roadsides bear witness to the subtle movement of the continents. This guiding principle is expressed in various materials mimicking these traits, throughout the collection.
