Ned Vena — 4 framed acid etched mirrors, in artist's frames
Ned Vena

4 framed acid etched mirrors, in artist's frames

Four acid-etched mirrors are encased in frames crafted by the artist himself, merging the functional object with a sculptural sensibility. The corrosive etching process disrupts the reflective surface, transforming each mirror into an abstracted, visually complex plane that challenges the viewer's perception of self and space. The repetition of four works invites a dialogue between the individual pieces, emphasizing seriality and the subtle variations that emerge from a process-driven practice.
