Mirror Series
My recent ceramic artworks are studies of ornate frames and convex mirrors. They are hand made entirely of ceramic and have a central convex reflective surface. The bas-relief frames are Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque motifs that reference the culture and lives of women in those eras. This work references the social metaphoric and aesthetic history of the mirror and represents my personal study of issues of female identity, motherhood and my experiences as a nurse.
