I’ve been playing around with more abstract stuff lately - I’m doing a series of prints that are basically just weird circles, hence the goofy old timey name of cyclometry :) The colors on this came out really neat in person!
What is it? Looks a bit like a CD.
It’s actually a plate of titanium I did some patterned anodization on. Anodizing titanium creates a nanometers thick crystalline layer that can constructively/destructively interfere with lightwaves to create color without pigments or dyes. I invented a process to spatially control anodization a few months ago and I’ve been using to create art ever since. Let me know if you have any other questions!
These are so cool, I hope your patent gets granted so I can read more about your process :)
I actually just got the provisional patent filed! I’m going to start working on a breakdown of the process now and throw it up on my website. If you have any questions I’d be happy to answer now though!
I love the iridescent effect! The geometric design makes me think of some far future sci fi, like Foundation or Dune.
Good call, I can totally see that!
