    Splitting Particles

    There’s a technique developed in raku pottery where they create vibrant wriggles of black lines. They use horse tail hairs. Just what I need to depict nuclear fission where subatomic debris flies off in all directions. Sketched on a glossy, vivid blue and silver glazed surface, I’ve combined this technique with dry powder coating. On this table lamp, a composition of transparent circles is connected with random lines. Circles and patterns transpose on each other as the lamp is rotated.
