alchemy

This mirror has been constructed in poplar wood and was then hand painted. The top section features reverse painted museum glass panels black, white, red and yellow. These are are the symbolic alchemical colours. This minimalist design also references the work of the artist Ellsworth Kelly (1923 – 2015) while the colours of the mirror frame recall his fellow American Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970).
 
The frame is painted in Studio Green from the Farrow & Ball range and is faced with narrow panels in five further colours: Stiffkey Blue, Downpipe, Pelt, Brinjal and Railings. The 4mm thick mirrored glass has polished edges and it is feather floated within the central tray section, the interior of which is coated with graphite. 
The mirror has an integral split batten for secure, flush mounting to the wall.
