50 lbs.Īn optical device consisting of an assembly of microscopic narrow slits, grooves, or an array of dots which by diffracting light produces a large number of beams which can interfere in such a way as to produce spectra. I understand that recently after extensive renovations to the lobby, M-100 was moved to another location.Ĩ4 in.
The final work was originally installed in the main lobby of the Air Force Research Center on Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico. This technique allowed me to create a negative space painting. In order for me to accurately define the image of M-100, I dabbed black Alkyd paint with handmade tools for feathering the edge of dark spaces of the galaxy image. I adhered this film to hammered aluminum panels. The diffraction grating is imprinted into Mylar sheet then placed within a vacuum chamber in order to vapor deposit an aluminum mirror on the backside which amplies the visual experience. This spectrum shifting activity is accomplished by a rainbow hologram that acts like a diffraction grating. Compare above photos, left with right, for color changes. “M-100 Spiral Galaxy In Virgo” (left & right views)Īs you walk by the M-100 sculpture/painting, colors shift across the spectrum.
