Skymirror Notingham Playhouse IMG_3661
Sky Mirror is nearly 6m in diameter and weighs nearly 10 tonnes
A smaller sculpture was made to test the manufacturing process. The safety of both any reflections and its strength in adverse weather conditions were checked
Sky Mirror is made from strips of stainless steel from the UK. It was manufactured in Finland through a process of cold forging and was then taken to Wellingborough in the UK for final polishing to create the highly reflective surface. Sky Mirror is attached to the water feature by 18 stainless steel bolts, each 1.6m long.
