Summary
[edit]DescriptionA field of magnetised iron filings.jpg |
English: Environmental Sand Artist Brian Pike created a number of sketches in the mid eighties as an experiment in conceptual art. The compositions consisted entirely of iron filings sprinkled onto plywood or cardboard and then arranged in a series of similar images with a feather. He then used a bar magnet to gently magnetise the iron filings before going on to fix the pictures to achieve the desired results. This particular sketch was created on a piece of rough hewn plywood and the only one to survive a flood and was recently discovered in its battered state among some bags of coloured sand. As far as is known it may be the only sketch ever made using this novel method of creating a permanent picture in iron filings. Size - unframed 22cms by 11.5cms - NOTE This is the raw 'warts and all' version of field of magnetised iron filings - before photoshopping out the saw-cut! |
