Description
This unique mirror sculpture called All Heart comprises an Ikea mirror, heart ‘puzzle’, and numerous plastic, metal and sea glass hearts, including larger ones from gold wire, diamantes and sparkly paper. I made the heart puzzle from clay, which has been imprinted and fired, but not glazed. However, I found all the rest of the items – including the mirror – on the streets of Melbourne. The mirror is 40cm high by 25cm wide.
In November 2022, this work was featured in the Creativity Cluster exhibition at the Docklands Library called Melbourne: Our Creative Heart. The exhibition was supported by an Arts Grant from the City of Melbourne.
My name is Nancy D Lane (NancyDee Sculptures), and I am an artist in residence at River Studios in West Melbourne. Working as a found object assemblage artist and jewellery designer, I create wall sculptures, 3D sculptures and brooches. I also work occasionally with alcohol ink, as I love the vibrancy of the colours. I have had several solo exhibitions in Melbourne and Laos, and my works have appeared in more than 80 group exhibitions in Australia, the US and the UK.
