When I started this piece, I asked my friends and family what they thought of when they heard the word "home." I got some very personal responses: safe, calm, comforting, corn fields, delays, cuddle puddles, warm, blanket, couch, cats, campfires, love, a person. I started to think about how "home" can mean something different to everyone, and I wanted to find a way to reflect that.
My idea of "home" has changed a lot over the last couple of years. With the birth of my son, the isolation due to the pandemic, and some other big life changes, my home has become less about my physical space and more about connecting with the people who are in it. This piece is about that connection. I wanted to create something that felt like togetherness, warmth, and family. The negative space in the glass shifts into positive space, and the viewer can see their own version of "home" in the reflection. The piece becomes less about the physical work and more about what the viewer sees in its reflection.
This piece was hand-drawn and then cut on my laser and scroll saw. It features line art supported by a layers of sage green and bright orange. The mirror has a black tint, which gives it a rich, dark color and a dramatic and elegant reflection. The frame is built so that the glass can be removed and easily cleaned. This piece comes complete with a French cleat hanger.
