Mystery Pond
An Interactive Wall Sculpture
36" x 48" x 1"
Basswood, 23K Gold, Pigments

This interactive piece was inspired by classic Fijian carving designs. I
titled it "Mystery Pond" because it made me think of grass, illuminated by
the moon, against a night sky.

The mirror, revealed in the inset photo, was created using 23K gold to
gild a rectangle of beveled glass. This yellowish mirror is suspended on a
pivot and can be turned to keep the mirror hidden or revealed. The
background is graphite wash that has been burnished to give the flat surface a subtle sheen. The edge of the piece is wrapped with sheet lead, though it is not visible in the photo. This is a one-of-a-kind wall piece.
