BLUE 4
BLUE4
2010
Dimensions: (120 x 36 x 8 cm) x 2 panels
Materials: Glass, rocks, sand, concrete, metal frame, mirrored glass beads, zirconia diamonds, LED.
Mounting: Wall mount or self standing
Outdoor application is possible only if protected by a glass enclosure.
The bright blue areas made by shattered glass are back-illuminated by blue LEDs. The remainder is made of painted stucco, sand, and stones.
A complex light effect is realized by using over ten different types of mirrored as well as clear glass materials including zirconia diamonds.
Features
-This work is modular, and more panels may be added to extend the height (only two are shown in below).
-Water may be run behind the blue glass.
-The LED light box may be detached, allowing this work to be, for example, used as a stained glass panel attached to windows (in which case, water may be run on the window glass).
-The tone of the blue color changes, from crystalline blue in the morning to deep blue in the night, as both sunlight and the blue LEDs are contributing to the color.
-Greenish hues may be added to some areas of the blue glass.
-This work is available in other themes or colors (pls refer to Blue I through III).
-Low energy consumption: 20W, no heat generation.
Applications
-Show windows
-Alcove decoration.
-Bar counters and tables (horizontally installed).
-Floor-embedded light accent.
-Light accent at the end of a dark corridor.
The Blue series is constructed by merging inspirations from remote places (such as the Gobi desert, where I lived) and the principles as well as techniques for the 12-16th century style Japanese paintings of Chinese origin called Suibokuga (also called Ink painting). My Suibokuga teachers taught me that everything in this world is made of life energy and that every line you draw must radiate with this same energy. In this work, I made attempts to reflect this teaching so that the energy of, say, breaking waves is captured. In this sense, this work has a touch of resemblance to pre-Edo period Japanese paintings.
