This small piece is done with the modified recycled CD/DVD material that I inovated and is somewhat inspired by the stained glass works of Frank Lloyd Wright. However, the primary compositional nature of the piece simply the ongoing generation of eye-pleasing juxtapositions using the 45 degree triangle and rectangular shapes to serendipitously create a jumble that looks good. I have used many different colors in this piece, which equates to many different brands or types of CD or DVD, each having its own inherent color based upon my modification process. This process produces gem-like qualities in the CD or DVD pieces, thus the title: Crystal Vortex. This piece measures 5" x 7.5" and is matted in a silver toned 11" x 14" frame. It is for sale and I am asking $180 USD for it.

This piece is a little old but I wanted to post it because, while it uses some of the jewel-like CD/DVD material, it is unique in that it also uses a new experimental material I devised, namely crushed and polished aluminum foil colored with alchohol inks (I like being a mad art scientist, always pushing the envelope with strange and unheard of materials). Click on the image to look at the close-up to see how richly detailed this material is. I plan to do some further work with this inventive use of a common material. The title of this piece is 'Shaman'.
This metal and CD/DVD piece is entitled 'Tresure' and has a wide variety of metal types: Old bullet casings in brass, copper and steel; aluminum can materials modified in various ways (torching, polishing, embossing); aluminum pie plate; gold foil from chocolate wrappers; foil from the tops of wine bottles, etc. Look close, the details in the metals and 'gems' is cool.
