Process
The
works of art displayed are comprised of up to 20 plates of glass
arrayed over a light box. Because many of the plates are painted
on both sides, a single work consists of upwards of 40 separate
hand-painted images.
Each image of the representational works is a cross section of the
subject matter. These two-dimensional images are carefuly positioned
on each plate to align precisely with every other image, so as to
create the illusion of a three-dimensional whole.
The photographs provide only a hint of the true appearance of these
evanescent images in glass. The light shining through the paint
creates a jewel-like glow, which shimmers as your viewing angle
changes. Each shift in perspective causes new colors to appear and
vanish as two existing hues combine to form a third. And as you
bring your eye down alongside the edge of the plates, the image
gradually becomes a fog of color, until it fades, and finally disappears
altogether. |
