Jutta Koether — mylar on cardboard
Jutta Koether

mylar on cardboard

A shimmering, reflective sheet of mylar is mounted or affixed to a cardboard support, creating a tension between industrial material and humble substrate. Koether's work engages with the surface as both mirror and membrane, inviting viewers to encounter their own fragmented reflections within the piece. The pairing of these two everyday materials suggests an interest in the provisional, the temporary, and the boundaries between fine art and the disposable.
