Deep Reflections Sculpture

This piece sits within a collection of pieces entitled 'magic'. Their genesis was the discovery of lighting effect discovered in the process of playing with light, reflectors, prisms, filters, holographic films and textured surfaces. The defining feature of this piece is the repeated reflections from the surface that resemble light bouncing of the sea at sunset and the dynamic effect of moving one's viewpoint, noting how these lines of reflected light change and particularly at each corner where rays of light work together to give a definite representation of depth where none exists. This piece hung in the entrance to a gallery and confounded every viewer curious to understand how such an effect could be created within a depth of 1-2 inches/ 30-50mm. Once the effect was optimised I created the largest possible construction to demonstrate to the best effect - this became the limit of plastic sheet size. The lighting is supported by a 200 watt driver for the LEDs and may be powered permanently or intermittently.
