EVADING COLOURS is a series of light sculptures exploring the extraordinary properties of Perspex that in certain aspects are close to glass. Its centrepiece is made of reeded acrylic, which adds texture and depth to the overall appearance. The reeded acrylic refers to a pattern of parallel ridges or grooves running along the surface, providing an interesting tactile and visual element. To enhance the aesthetics further, the colour hue is UV printed onto the reeded acrylic center piece. UV printing is a process that uses ultraviolet light to cure or dry the ink instantly, resulting in vibrant and durable colours. The UV printing method ensures that the color hue is precisely applied to the reeded acrylic surface, creating a vivid and eye-catching effect. When illuminated, EVADING COLOURS produces an enchanting glow, accentuating the texture and color of the lamp. This combination of textured acrylic, UV printing, and lighting creates a captivating visual display, making it a unique and attractive lighting fixture for any space.
