Hello Lightning Tamers!
Since my collaboration with local Pittsburgh Artist Daria Sandburg two years ago, we’ve dreamed of expanding her ideas with plasma! Our recent exploration and collaboration has yielded some interesting results. Daria is often making and working in small metals, glass cast elements, and found materials. Our collaboration is a synergistic relationship: where she challenges my ability to shape and scale clouds that fit her ladders, and I challenged her to hammer out different metals and develop new techniques. |
The purpose of using nichrome or steel is to use a materials that didn’t scale or flake when brought up to annealing temperature. That way I can create the cleanest environment for vacuum.
More experimentation and explorations abound!
Thank You,
Percy | Taming Lightning
