Deborah Childress of Blindspot Mirrors & Boxes creates mirrors and boxes with botanical designs & abstract themes., Blindspot mirrors & boxes have a rich patinated metallic-like finish. Meticulously handcrafted details, this fiber, reinforced gypsum cement provides a structurally strong, relatively light mirror, which makes them lighter and easy to hang.Deborah recognized that fragile botanical designs can be captured with great clarity of detail, by developing a technique where she works directly on a mold. In other words, starting with a negative, rather than a positive form. Minutely detailed frames created entirely by hand are individually cast using fiber-reinforced gypsum cement providing a structurally strong, relatively light mirror. Each frame is hand detailed and finished with four to six layers of metallic pigment resulting in rich patinaed finishes which appear to look and feel like metal.
