The Lace Mirror

2025, MONOPRINT, ACRYLIC, GOLD FOIL, INK ON ARCHIVAL PAPER, 21 X 16”, UNFRAMED

This piece began with my love of lace — especially bobbin lace, the intricate, meditative craft of weaving without a loom. I made stencils from roses and winding vines, allowing them to repeat, overlap, and tangle the way threads do when something delicate is being built by hand.

The form, edged in gold and floating within rippling black-and-white lines, suggests a mirror — but not one that reflects a face. Instead, it reflects process, memory, and the quiet labor of making. Pattern becomes both decoration and structure, much like lace itself, where beauty is inseparable from skill.

Gold foil catches the light, echoing the way lace once signified care, time, and devotion. This work honors that lineage — the patient hands, the repeated gestures, and the hidden architecture beneath every beautiful surface..
