Metallic Flowers

Since its invention in the 1960s by the US space agency, NASA, magnetic fluid - originally intended as rocket fuel - has gone on to impact applications in a wide range of industries, from electronics to construction. For me, this material represents a never-ending source of creative ideas. It can be shaped, coloured and lit in so many ways.

In this project, I attempted to create flower-like shapes and colours, using various colouring and lighting techniques.
