A four layer perspex sandwich with negative curved outline. Layer 3 is painted with an array of evaporation rings containing silver powder.
This layer also incorporates a disc with an array of rust coloured denser evaporation rings as if glimpsing the telescopic view of an electrically active anode surface. An arrangement of four lead splashes on layer 2 counterpoints the four hex bolts of the piece.
This unit recalls the retinal impact of photons of light during an astronomical observation. The whole is experienced again as a machined artifact.
