Ry Van Der Hout: ‘In Broken Light’ — Shattered Mirrors Soldered Back Together Inside an 1866 Toronto Mansion

For five site-specific works at Toronto’s Spadina Museum, Ry Van Der Hout breaks glass and mirrors and then rejoins the shards with traditional Tiffany stained-glass soldering, folding photographs and household history into the pieces. The largest, a 12-foot geodesic dome on the unrestored third floor, honours the house’s domestic staff — a quiet argument that shattering isn’t the end of a story. Source: Design Milk
