Landscape Mirror Tapestries

These large, intricate, handmade mirror tapestries are made from hundreds, if not thousands of individual logs and polished steel mirrors. The tapestries are bound with wire and suspended from a sculptural top branch, creating a striking and unique installation.

The wall hangings feature English hardwood branches that are sustainably sourced from Lee’s local and regional surroundings.

The wood is sometimes stained black or left natural, and then finished and protected with raw hard wax oil. Discreet fixtures are attached to the back of the branch for installation.

Description

Lee Borthwick combines her love of wild landscapes with sensitively gathered materials. Her intuitive approach to fabrication facilitates a tactile, reflective, and poetic experience for the viewer. Assembling organic forms, tree pieces, and timber off-cuts into ordered relationships, often fused with mirror, is a recurring concept within Lee’s practice. Calling to mind the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy and Richard Long, Lee brings the outside in. She places importance on purity by habitually echoing the existing beauty in natural forms, an approach that emerged from time spent living in Finland: the land of lakes, forests and vast, solitary spaces combined with the peace and contemplation she found there is the strand that connects each piece of her work.
