FLY EYE MIRROR
size: 28 ½” H X 24 ½” W (can be hung horizontally or vertically)
size with frame: 37” H X 33” W
FLY EYE MIRROR uses new/old (old but never used) stock optical lenses; all the same strength and size.
I assembled the lenses on a form that project out in a convex dome of about 3” towards the viewer. The antique mirror placed behind the lenses creates a web-like effect with the reflection appearing to curve into the wall behind it.
The border is made of 4”X 4” Luxfer Glass tiles from the 1890’s. Luxfer tiles were used in storefront transom windows to bring light into a space before electricity was available. Each corner of the border features a tile embossed with the Luxfer logo. The frame is made from 4 ½” mahogany with a natural finish.
