'Light Ballistic Spectrum' : ( detail right )

perspex, spirit dye, fixtures and lead splashes : 200 x 16 x 7 cms

'Light Ballistic Spectrum' is a single piece in four layers. The middle layer has striations in silver powder mixed with shellac. At random are lead solder splashes that punctuate the piece with sparkling highlights.
Here is an observation of light ballistic theory arranged as a spectrum. The colours are reduced to variations of silver, the colour frequencies represented by the velocities of the lead splashes.
