Drych — Welsh for “mirror” — is an ongoing body of work exploring reflection, memory, distortion, and self-perception through hand-treated mirror surfaces and layered paint. Portions of silver are chemically removed from raw mirror before the surface is rebuilt through reverse painting, abrasion, and reactive processes that require working backward — beginning with the foreground and constructing the image in reverse order. Because the materials respond unpredictably to chemistry, oxidation, pressure, and time, the work exists in collaboration with both control and chance, embracing imperfection as part of the final image.
The practice also serves as an evolving exploration of art + object: transforming a functional surface traditionally associated with vanity and reflection into an opportunity to encounter art, atmosphere, and material beauty within everyday spaces. The long-term vision for the work extends beyond singular pieces into permanent interior installations for homes, hospitality spaces, restaurants, retail environments, and architectural applications where reflection itself becomes part of the artwork.
