Artist Statement
“Landscape” extends the Mercury Effect language into a panoramic format. The panel reads like a liquid skyline: bands of light and shadow drift across its surface, suggesting sea, cloud and terrain without ever settling into a fixed image. Instead of depicting nature, the work captures the way a place feels as it moves through time—flickering, unstable, alive.
The high-polish stainless steel acts as a lens for its surroundings. Nearby architecture collapses into waves, while passing viewers are stretched into abstract streaks of colour. This collaboration between material and environment is central to the work: “Landscape” is never complete on its own, but finishes itself with whatever light and life happen to be in front of it.
1/1 Installation
Placement: Ideal for large interior feature walls (lobbies, galleries, private residences) or sheltered exterior façades.
Mounting: Panel is designed to be wall-hung with a concealed sub-frame or cleat system so the piece appears to float a few centimetres off the surface. Fixings should be stainless steel and rated for exterior use when installed outdoors.
Lighting: Works best with soft, wide wall-wash lighting or natural daylight from the side. Avoid tight spotlights that create harsh hot-spots.
Environment: Suitable for interior and exterior environments thanks to marine-grade 316L stainless steel. In coastal or high-pollution areas, periodic fresh-water rinsing is recommended.
Care & Maintenance: Clean with a microfibre cloth and pH-neutral detergent only; avoid abrasives and scouring pads to preserve the mirror finish.
