This interactive, kinetic sculpture acts as a giant magnifying glass, except sunbeams pour through the colored lens as the viewer swivels the rings into position to catch the light, casting a stained glass reflection on the ground, or anything else it hits.
Made from Plasma cut 1/4” steel and a 1/2” thick piece of circular, clear polycarbonate with designs directly printed on using UV inks from a large format flatbed printer, this piece is sturdy and meant to be enjoyed outdoors by the general public.
Magnify instantly becomes an education tool as it demonstrates the concepts of transparency, light reflection and refraction, even the physics of mobility with it’s rotating top.
It immediately draws the viewers attention begging to be touched and handled. A strong addition to any temporary or permanent sculpture collection!
