mixed-media work, combining photography, ink, and high voltage.
The base is a color-negative enlargement of a slide showing a view from a plateau into a canyon on Iceland (turn the picture upside-down, and you might recognize this: the gravel plateau is mostly white in the foreground, and the light-yellow feature is some kind of hill on the slope into the canyon). Then, I put a few drops of green ink with some salt dissolved in it onto the paper, and dipped one electrode of a high-voltage generator into the ink. Other than the HV generator I used for the oak leaf, this one is rather harmless – it outputs AC, which doesn’t penetrate into the body (so-called skin effect), but it can generate a small arc that gets kinda hot (melts glass). The salty ink is driven out laterally by the electric field forces, and makes little branched-out patterns (call them fractal if you will). I scanned the original (about letter-sized) to digitize it. The original is not for sale, only digital reproductions.
