Designer John Greg Ball -Weblog

In the spirit of the Calgary Stampede, and Inspired by Alberta’s cattle industry, the Meathead mirror allows one to check themselves daily to ensure they have not indeed become what they have eaten. Playing with the traditional imagery of the west, the mirror asks us to look deeper within to consider the mental, behavioral, and physical implications of what we eat.

The mirror’s manufacturing process considers the environment, as it reclaims 50-year old mirror glass that is waterjet cut into a new and useable form; a wall hung mirror.
