Overview
Inspired by crystalline structure of topaz, the state gemstone of Texas found locally in the Hill Country, Crystal Clouds is composed of tetrahedral clouds. The clouds are created from a thin aluminum framework and 3D printed hardware integrated with triangular panels of dichroic acrylic. The multifaceted orientation incorporates the viewer’s movement, color, and natural light to create a dynamically changing experience that reflects and transmits color reactive to the atmospheric conditions of the space.
Goals
Given the voluminous space, the artwork intends to make a big visual impact through color and angular geometric forms, while transmitting and reflecting light.
