Kaleidoscopic Floor Installations Made of Mirrors, Crystals and Glass by Suzan Drummen


In an act of patience and precision that boggles the mind, Dutch artist Suzan Drummen creates sparkling floor installations using an array of individually placed mirrors, crystals, chromed metal, optical glass and precious stones. That’s right, the thousands of objects in each of her artworks are placed and stacked by hand and sit completely loose during the exhibition.

The fractal-like patterns in each installation form a sort of temporary 3D carpet that alters the space in which its installed by reflecting light in all directions. But even the slightest disturbance, an accidental step or dropped object, could send pieces from the unprotected installation flying, a true testament to the artist’s trust in the viewer.

  1. This is sooooo specia!!!!!! My friend in Calgary sent it. What talent!!! I used
    to have a bit myself and now I just have to enjoy others.
    I live in Branson, Missouri and we have so much talent. It is all live music, art, lakes,
    fishing, shows and such enjoyment. There over 100 shows and we can’t see them all.
    Andy Williams was here for about 40 years, (he passed last fall),Mickey Gilly, Yakcof,
    and others have come and gone. Nothing stays the seme, neither the good or bad.

    Thanks, Janyce Dawson
