Ultra Violet Works - Cold Fire

Ultra Violet works are an extension of my work in fire. They are inspired by Ernest Rutherfords use of Zinc Sulphide screens as particle detectors in his early atom smashing experiments and a particular idea of James Joyce.

The use of Zinc Sulphide mineral required the invention of a medium I call the 'lumiogram' - Lumiograms are studies in higher dimensional spaces.

Lumiograms evolved in two stages.

 
     

Stage 1 -

exploring a geometry of light

 

Stage 2 -

invoking specific ' phase spaces'

Stage 2 'phase spaces' will be exhibited in 2003

"The luminous silent stasis of esthetic pleasure when the clear radiance of the the esthetic image is apprehended by the mind, which has been arrested by its wholeness and fascinated by harmony. The mind in that mysterious instant Shelley likened beautifully to a fading coal."

- James Joyce
