Mainframe Squares of mechanical glass with a mixture of Corning Photo Gray glass which changes color depending on lighting conditions. Acrylic paint and fired paint make up this exciting work of art. It is interconnected by lines that suggest printed circuitry and uses the high-tech glass Photogray made available to me from the Corning laboratory. This piece was created as I thought about movies and how their rich colors are delivered to us as an audience. The mechanical process is intriguing.
Light passes through a thin film and is projected on a screen.
I tried to bring this effect about in 3 Reeler by using layers of glass through which light is filtered and diffused. Steel framed and ready to hang. Triads I always loved the solid and colorful early Wurlitzer jukeboxes. Their colors were vibrant and had great depth. I used some found vintage prism glass squares layered over antique sheet glass.
