Stone Compositions by Luuk Van Den Broek.

“About thirty percent of natural stones are crushed for industrial use as the underlayer for tarmac roads. What a loss of the beauty produced by all those millennia, Luuk van den Broek thought. His Atmospheric light sculpture is a way to use the pieces of waste stone with their natural beauty intact. The different types of stone collectively form an architectonic composition, reminiscent of high buildings in the light of dusk. The diversity in translucence and reflection of the material combine to form a playful and atmospheric whole, the rounded shape results in a continuous stream of patterns in the stone. A fragile iconic object, surrounded by a soft glow of light.”

A Mirror Darkly by Nick Ross. I had a look at his master examination at Konstfack some weeks ago during their examination week. I’ve seen his other work before, so I figured I had to see this mirror project too. You can read more about his work here.

“Some historians believe that small ceramic bowls may have been used to contain water which could be used as table top mirrors during the late Stone Age. A Mirror Darkly by Nick Ross is a contemporary expression of that first man-made mirror.” Read more here.
