More in the aluminum can metal vein. This piece is just shapes of various textures of mistreated can metal cut precisely together to form a random pattern that resembles the patterns seen when meteorite iron is etched with acid. That iron is mixed with nickel and exhibits a very unique pattern when etched. This piece mimics that.

The spectral color pattern in some of the aluminum pieces is more readily discernable in this photo than in most, but it still does not adequately show the amount of irridescence that exists in this work.

This is in a private collection in Denver. OK, so I gave it to my daughter Shelly for her birthday.
