For Designwork 05, Sophie Gannon Gallery presents Volume III, a solo exhibition of ‘puddle' mirrors by Cordon Salon. Cordon Salon is a Melbourne-based design studio focused on researching, reimagining and experimenting as a method to discover new outcomes in concept, process and design.
Volume III expands on Cordon Salon’s previous experiments with traditional silvering methods and modern materials. Intended to evoke emotion in the viewer, the colours chosen in this body of work are inspired by aura photography and Kate Mitchell’s 2020 exhibition All Auras Touch.
Creative Director Ella Saddington says, ‘Our intention is to highlight a rather remarkable antiquated process. Each piece is individual and completely unique’.
