I don't normally post pictures of works-in-progress, but because this piece is taking so long, and because I'm happy with how it's developing I thougth I'd show off a bit of the most complex mold I've ever created.
That which is constantly detonating the experiences and knowledge of my past into broken rough-edged bits, before reassembling them into the artwork below. Every item on this site is handmade by me unless otherwise noted.

Blade - Framed Mirror
During the office renovation, several bathrooms in the building were redone. The tile colors and even the fixtures were thirty years out of date. In order to overcome the "dating", I chose white 3"x6" subway tile, laid up in common bond (reference to the masonry roots of the company) and white porcelain antique-appearing fixtures (a reference to the 70 year age of the company).
In order to make the otherwise cold white bathroom appear warmer, the floors were done in slate grey, and wooden details were added, including these mirrors over the sinks. They measure 24" x 27" and the frame is just 2" wide.
Because they were cut and assembled by workmen on site, I had to limit the detailing - in this case to just a singular routed groove, cut by table saw.
Corner detail.
