'Falling'

The mirror is seen as a symbol of vanity. My large handmirrors have been made in reflection to this obsessive nature in society. The images within the handmirrors are burnt into the wood by hand and are taken from a brooch narrative designed as part of a series for my wooden jewellery brand, ’Lady Coppice’. 

This image depicts the time in a woman's life where she falls in love and shows the intensity this can bring between two people.

The piece measures 75cm in height and its width is 33.5cm. It's depth is 1.8cm and is made from Beech wood, which, after the image and details has been applied with a wood burning pen, has been evenly sprayed with a light varnish to bring out the grain of the wood more and for it's protection against dirty marks and finger prints.
