Madame Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess came to me in a meditative vision. I was asked to think of what her tears would be made of - fire, of course. I drew what I envisioned on a discarded slab of wood hidden in a pile behind the studio. I made several after that day. On a day I was displaying them at a sales event at the Queen Emma Summer Palace, a Hula teacher approached my booth and loudly exclaimed "Pele's Tears, how wonderful!" I was shocked - how did she know that I titled them "Pele's Tears"? I was confused, she was confused, until she pulled out her phone and showed me a photo of the glass formations produced during volcanic eruptions that are called Pele's Tears. They looked so like what I had made that we both felt the mirror was inspired by Pele Herself.
Pele's Tear Mirror Sculpture is an individually hanging wall mounted mirrored sculpture. Each one is cut from solid slabs of local tropical hardwoods like Koa, Kamani, Narra, Milo, Mango. The shapes are cut each by hand with jigsaw, each piece is sanded, then the mirror glass is custom cut to fit. They are finished with a hand rubbed polyurethane blend.
Each mirror is unique, so please note there will be differences in color tone, bark inclusions, and wood. The shape will be the same as in this photo, but the wood tone, color, and texture will vary. If you have a specific size or shape, please select "custom order" below.
It comes ready to hang. The wood can be cared for with Henry's Orange Oil and Beeswax rub which will bring the wood grain back to its original beauty. The glass cleaned with a simple 70% alcohol spray directly on a rag then used to clean the glass.
