The
silver wall is situated at the bottom of the garden axially with the
window. The object is a light box with sand blasted glass mounted onto
the front. Brass strips are laminated onto the glass.They have been
electroplated with silver. Tiny gaps between the ingots glow with light
from behind. As the day changes, the balance of natural and artificial
light varies, changing the wall from surface to frame. The silver will
tarnish from mirror through nicotine yellows to black. Once a year,
at Easter, the family polish the wall with Duraglit. |
