Beware! Today's Harv-art may drive your eyes back into your skull a considerable distance, rebounding off your brain and popping them out of their sockets before dangling onto your cheeks in helpless awe!
OK, maybe not.
But you can't help but like this mosaic of pretty, glittering, irridescent shapes.
This little rectangle is composed of a random pattern of modified CD material. A random pattern of mosaic like this was called Opus Palladianum by the ancient Romans. It is basically just various shaped polygons fitted together to form a whole composition.
The CD's have been 'mistreated' with a torch to create the interesting visual effects. As they are turned at various angles in the light they refract the colors in ways that mimic opals or gems. Like many of the pieces shown in this blog, this piece is much better in person than in the photo shown here.
So, this piece weaves together the ancient techniques with ultra modern materials to create an 'eye-shattering' image of beauty.
