Art What’s On

Detail

Joanna Manousis, a British-American artist known for her monumental and intimate-scale sculptures in glass, mirror, and mixed media, is set to captivate audiences with her last exhibition, “Iris Obscura.” Drawing on two decades of studio practice and three years of academic research, Manousis presents an innovative exploration of mirrored glass as a medium for artistic expression. “Iris Obscura” represents the culmination of Manousis’s extensive research of cast glass mirrors, a technique historically overlooked in mirror-making due to its textured, opaque surface. Through meticulous experimentation, Manousis has harnessed the potential of investment cast glass as a canvas for silver nitrate coatings, creating a mesmerising palette of surface effects.
