All Heart – Mirror sculpture by NancyDee Sculptures

This may not be the best mirror for your partner to check that their hair is combed or that they brushed their teeth properly, but it will show how much you love them. And it does so it a way that is environmentally sustainable, with all the items gathered from Melbourne’s streets, cleaned, repurposed and upcycled — except for the clay heart puzzle, which I created with a friend who makes hand-built ceramics.

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.

Sculptures & brooches from upcycled street and beach found objects

My name is Nancy D Lane. I am a found object assemblage artist working as NancyDee Sculptures. I love creating sculptures, brooches and art magnets from the metal, wood, tile and plastic I find on streets and beaches – mostly in Melbourne, though on my travels as well.My works range in size from less than 2×2cm to more than 2 metres. My art is inspired by the challenge of happenstance, using only the materials I pick up on my daily walks.I work as an artist in residence at River Studios in West Melbourne. I have had 7 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 60 group exhibitions. Most importantly, I am commited to sustainability and hope that my creative use of unloved and unwanted trash will serve as a reminder of the 5Rs: refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, and recycle.
