Constellation Mirror By Tom Palmer

Constellation mirror by Tom PalmerDimensions: D 120 x H 5 cmMterials: Glass, ResinAlso Available: Other sizes and variations available.The constellation mirrors are made from hand mirrored toughened glass backed with layers of coloured translucent resin and further hand slivering. I have developed a unique method of mirroring glass using a the precious metal Palladium and water which allows me to create swirling compositions reminiscent of deep space Constellations and Nebulas.The mirroring of the constellation mirrors can be composed to respond to clients spaces along with the colours of the backing resin layers.As standard the constellation mirrors are framed in a custom circular frame, that can be finished in a range of metal finishes, pewter, bronze and brass etc. It is also possible for the constellation mirrors to be framed in rectangular frames, forming triptychs etc.It is possible to easily create custom diameters of the constellation mirrors as there is no mould required unlike the iris mirrors. I have found that dimensions between 80cm - 180cm are most effective with 120cm as the standard diameter.Tom Palmer (b 1986) is an Artist whose work ranges from individual pieces for private clients, to bespoke installations for international interior designers and architects. Much of Tom’s work has been informed by his ability to work with an ever-expanding range of materials and skills both ancient and contemporary. He has a particular fascination in the world of Medieval and Renaissance Europe but also the aesthetic and art of later Japanese makers and artists. He takes inspiration from functional objects as well as religious and fine art. A brief overview of some recent pieces gives the best insight into Tom’s astonishing range. As well as working on his own pieces, Tom has developed and created specific elements for many projects on a more architectural scale for both private and industry clients. In recent years he has been called upon to create often deeply textural pieces using everything from timeless ‘noble’ materials such as stone and bronze to newly emerging industrial composites.Tom is included in the prestigious Homo Faber Guide of craftsmanship compiled by the Michelangelo Foundation.
