Pathways of light.
How it was made. |
Cracked and broken mirror was retrieved from a skip . It was subject to heat and vacuum to accentuate the cracks.
Topology of mirror changes. This was used to create the Shrine and ceiling. Separately 150 kilo eggshell that would otherwise have gone to landfill was retrieved, washed, dried, powdered and recomposed into a new form. |

Hanging the installation at Granary Square, London. June 2022
In an iconic building - the granary at Kings cross, now Central Saint Martins, the installation was hung over a period of seven days. The ceiling at Central Saint Martins is 24 meters high, open to the sky - a perfect venue for light to stream through cracks of the ceiling of this installation.
