High-End 2D and 3D Masked and
Museum Sized Sculptures
These
are some of our largest single-layer and 3D multiple-layer sculptures.
Their
larger size and complex internal patterns are prized by art collectors
and home decorators. All sculptures are provided with custom walnut light bases with one or two
LED strips. Standard colors are cool white, natural white, and "electric blue". Bases for 1.5" and 2" thick
sculptures have two rows of LED's, and can be ordered with both strips
the same color or a mix of two different colors. Special order LED colors include
red, yellow, green, or multi-color color-changing at higher cost.
We
offer classical single-layer, complex 2-layer, and
state-of-the art 3D masked sculptures. Our 3D masked
sculptures uses lead masks on two surfaces to
precisely control the regions of the specimen that are irradiated by
the electron beam. As each specimen is passed through the beam, openings in
the top mask permit electrons to charge up the acrylic below, while
blocking electrons from the areas under the mask. 3D masked specimens are then
rotated 180 degrees and irradiated again through the bottom mask. The
result is a series of charged regions along two separate layers. Each
charge layer is about 1/4" to 1/2" below the acrylic surface depending
on the energy of the electron beam.
After discharging, the unmasked areas will contain discharges while
the masked regions will not. By cleverly designing the masks and their
relative alignment, we can also cause the two discharge layers to
become linked by a large number of of smaller discharges. The result is
an incredibly complex 3D discharge structure that is stunningly beautiful from
all viewing angles. A diagram of the irradiation and masking process can
be seen below:

Style 72 - 15" x 20" x 2", Two-Layer Discharge, No Masking
These sculptures combine the natural beauty of an unmasked sculpture
with two interlinked charge layers. These
are the largest sculptures we make. Because of the random nature of the
discharges, there is considerable variation from specimen to specimens.
One of these specimens is on permanent exhibit at the Chicago
Museum of Science and Industry in the "Numbers in Nature" exhibit.
Matching
walnut base can be supplied with all cool white, natural white, or blue
LED's or a mix of any two. Special order options include red, green, or
yellow, or multi-color color-changing LED's.
Power adapters are available for North American/US, UK, EC, and Australian power.
Retail Price: $3300 including custom walnut light base. Shipping weight ~40 pounds.
