Sunbeam, Captured
Einder / Hydrosfeer
Boris Acket is an artist whose pieces I keep finding myself revisiting. His works have a simple elegance that I find mesmerising. Sunbeam, Captured is of particular interest to me, the way that light is used in this piece is incredible. The subtle colouring of the mirror adds such a rich spectrum of colour to the reflection. Occasionally, the container will gently move, causing a ripple in the water. In turn the reflected light is disbursed in a wonderful display.
Looking back on this work got me thinking about reflection as a tool more broadly and how I can implement it within my work. In April, I was experimenting with cymatics, how could I expand expand on these ideas in future experiments:
- Finding/ Designing a larger container for the water
- Composing with effect on water rippling in mind
- Using larger light sources
