Paul Malone : Perspex - Plexiglas

'Electric Blue Pool' : 2007
These Perspex (Plexiglas) works are made as 'sandwiches' of clear and coloured layers with cut-outs and embedded items. The layers are bolted together using nickel 'hex' bolts flush with the surface. These form part of the hanging arrangement that spaces the piece about 4 cms from the wall. The work is hung from a separate perspex bar that is mounted on the wall using white nylon spacers and mirror disc head screws. Optional nuts can be added to the rear of the bar for security.

Under specific lighting (i.e.halogen) light transmits through the piece and falls in colours and patterns of shadow on the wall. The edges of the works are sanded to a diffuse finish to generalise the internal reflections. From sunlight to multi-spots, all these properties change as the lighting source is altered.

They are particularly suited to locations where the look of the existing wall needs to be retained - i.e. architect designed interiors. Below are a selection of possible types for sale and to act as examples for commissions. Individual works and constellations can however be commissioned to different specifications and concepts.

The general ideas for these pieces centre around astronomy and the optical presence of the night sky. Informing and inspiring these works are the forgotten physics of Walter Ritz' Light Ballistic Theory (1912), the super-positional universe of Ernst Mach and the electric topographies of Plasma Cosmology.
