To begin with, I further investigated materiality. Image 1 is a metallic mylar, gold on the exterior side and silver on the interior of the swirl. It does an amazing job of amplifying the light. Image 2 did not work as successfully as I had hoped. It is a blue tinted vellum. My hope was that it would create the caustic images with a blue tint to them. Being two opaque, it just blacked out the cone. The 3rd and 4th images are the same metallic mylar, but with the bold on the inside of the swirl, an the silver on the outside. The 5th image is of the same clear acetate I had been previously working with.
Upon looking into these material studies, I came to the conclusion that the metallic mylar was most interesting with the gold wrapped on the inside of the cone. I began to consider its architectural design potential. The final image is of a larger version of the cone, set a few inches above a light source resting on the ground. I am excited to further explore this application.
