This mirror, crafted from stabilized raw clay, reinterprets the classic checkerboard pattern. Here, the pattern decomposes into different modules, creating a lively and unexpected visual composition.
The mirror’s flat surface interacts with a hypnotic geometric pattern, offering a subtle interplay between order and imbalance. The empty and filled spaces echo one another, creating a visual rhythm, while the matte, grainy texture of the clay contrasts with the mirror’s impeccable polish. Handcrafted from Salernes clay, each element reflects delicate craftsmanship. The technique used in their creation brings irregularity and softness to the rigid checkerboard pattern.
The strong presence of the earthen elements contrasts with the immaterial quality of the mirror’s reflection. The two-dimensional checkerboard pattern is transcended by the depth of the mirror, where each reflection invites us to dive into this three-dimensional chessboard. Both a functional object and a graphic artwork, this mirror combines a strong visual presence with minimalist elegance, where each reflection is enhanced by the graphic interplay of the checkerboard.
This mirror is a unique, handcrafted piece. Each clay element can be removed to allow for cleaning of the mirror.
