In the begining, when I started working with mirror and made the first Untitled Mirror 1, I used pieces of mirror that had been discarded and were disintegrating. This source of mirror soon ran out and I began working with a glass factory to create the quality of mirror that I needed. 

Time past, and many mirror works had been created, when I realised that a new collection of mirror fragments had accumulated; corners and cut-offs of the hand-made sheets that could not be ignored. My instinct was to return to the first work, Untitled Mirror 1, and re-imagine its form using these fragments. Stella Nuova emerged, and soon after I flattened its form onto the surface of a table, returning it to its original form – a drawing.
