Molds & Samples
The
left panel is the mold master for a "Chevron" motif. The
chevron image either moves up or down, depending on which
direction the viewer moves past. The "Cross" panels display
two different approaches to the same image. The left panel
is of a bright Cross, with light in the field behind it
either condensing toward it or radiating away from it
(depending on the direction of viewer movement). The right
panel has an assymetrical light treatment both in the field
and in the Cross. At all times some parts of both the field
and the Cross are fully bright, and some parts at the
darkest presentation. As one moves past, the light moves
through both the Cross and the field, but on opposite
brightness levels. From any one angle, the image of the
Cross is never fully lit, but this is designed for a number
of identical panels, side by side. The multiplicity of
viewing angles informs viewers of the total image.
The
left panel is titled, "Opposing Lights". As one moves past,
half the image moves right, half moves left. The photo on
the right shows a "Weave" pattern on the left and a
"Multiple Diamonds" image on the right. the "Weave" is
essentially a magnified version of textile. If panels such
as this are used to clothe a building, it could "look like
it was made from silk from 1000 feet". The "Multiple
Diamonds" panel uses a symmetrical light movement pattern
with the brightness of the horizontal edges to be
identical, (as well as the vertical edges). This makes
possible a continuous wall of visually connecting castings
with a continuum of brightness change caused by the
differing viewing angle to the individual panels.
The logo panel on the left (QLogic) has the logo always at opposite brightness to the field it overlays, with changing brightness throughout the day. The right panel, "Double X" is designed to be used in multiples either as a vertical stack (think checkerboard) or as a running bond (think bricklayer's joint).
