Composed of multiple beveled glass facets arranged in a stepped, sloping composition, the work transforms ordinary reflection into a kinetic, sculptural event: each angled plane catches and refracts ambient light differently, producing a shifting collage of shadow, highlight, and fragmented perspective that changes with the viewer’s position and the time of day.

Small’s design language here bridges mid‑century modern clarity and contemporary minimalism, favoring clean lines and bold volumetric gestures over ornament. The precise beveling and careful alignment of each panel reveal atelier‑level craftsmanship, while the overall asymmetry and layered depth give the piece an improvisational, studio‑made presence rather than a factory finish. As both object and artwork, “Slopes” enlarges and animates a room while asserting itself as a standalone sculptural composition whose negative spaces and angled planes create a measured sense of movement on the wall.

Ideal for collectors and interiors that prize statement pieces, this mirror functions equally well above a console or sofa or as the anchor of a layered gallery wall, offering a dynamic focal point that reads as decorative, conceptual, and distinctly of Neal Small’s hand.
