Mercurial Mirror
Hand painted compact mirror, produced by Nina Royle for 'From the Field'.
Nina is a painter, printmaker, writer, and crafter of quiet exploratory performances, working from West Cornwall. Her work often delves deeply into a single subject - the colour blue for example or a deep black Japanese ink. She pulls on threads that connect meanings latent in symbols, materials and mythologies, stitching them together, to form something mesmerising and new.
For ‘From the Field’, Nina combined text and image taking the mermaid at Breage Church as a starting point for a sideways step away from Covid and the strangeness of lockdown and into an exploration of our tongue topography, myth and health. Her digital work can be viewed here - art.ninaroyle.co.uk
