Juno

The goddess Juno is the ancient personification of femininity, sensuality and fertility. This mirror begs the beholder to exalt in a celebration of womanhood as they find themselves entwined by her sensual swirls.

I have to admit, that while Juno came to me in a brief, but heady ten minutes of inspiration, she took another six months to produce. Many deliberations, plans, revisions and experiments later she emerged – nubile, triumphant and proud.

Aluminium was cut to shape and acid etched. Copper was heated, scribed and wrapped around high impact polystyrene to retain its form. Camphor laurel was sanded back to a silky smooth finish and treated with beeswax and turpentine to retain a silky smooth look. The mirror was sandblasted and fine enamel brushwork added, before the whole creation was assembled.
