research with thread

Maurizio Anzeri. Works with photographs and thread and creates these amazing images of other worldly faces. really intrigued me into the uses of thread. - Fraser

An independant idea inspired by mark and sams talks and ideas about the piece. was investigating the use of thread and materials. Spent a long time analyzing the use of floodlights the other night and the power they can have over a dark space. the gardening tool reminds me of a floodlight, so i guess thats where i got my inspiration for the piece. - FRASER

Magnetic Sculpture Ideas (Ferrofluid) - Mark




Ferrofluid




How they work

Ferrofluids containing magnetite can be prepared by combining the appropriate amounts of an Fe(II) salt and an Fe(III) salt in basic solution, a combination that causes the mixed valence oxide, Fe3O4, to precipitate from solution:

2 FeCl3 + FeCl2 + 8 NH3 + 4H2O --> Fe3O4 + 8 NH4Cl

However, the particles of magnetite must remain small in order to remain suspended in the liquid medium. To keep them small, magnetic and van der Waals interactions must be overcome to prevent the particles from agglomerating. Thermal motion of magnetite particles smaller than ~10 nm in diameter is sufficient to prevent agglomeration due to magnetic interactions.
