iridescenceae

iridescence is the optical phenomenon of certain surfaces that appear to gradually change colour as the angle of view changes. it's also in my veins.

Chris Wood

Chris Wood’s medium is light. She uses a range of high and low-tech optical materials to harness patterns of light that suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world.  Her sculptures are simple arrangements creating kinetic patterns in response to the environments in which they are placed.

Chris often uses a material called dichroic which was originally developed by NASA space agency. Dichroic is a colourless material that filters and reflects wavelengths of light producing a huge variety of rainbow coloured shadows and projections. The material itself is transparent, however it shifts from being reflective like a golden mirror to vibrantly coloured or almost transparent depending upon the viewpoint and angle of light.
