DescriptionThis is a rectangular aluminum panel perforated by a dense grid of drill-pressed holes. It is painted orange on the front and yellow/orange on the back.Gallery LabelHear the drumbeats of Indian classical music. Imagine the patterned walls of Muslim architecture. Feel the heat of California's Mojave Desert and the coolness of engineered systems. These are the artist's experiences that influenced this work. Painted on a rectangular aluminum panel perforated by a dense grid of drill-pressed holes, Diaphan 15 is hung several inches from the wall. Light passing through the holes bounces off the wall and reflects the panel's vivid orange hue.
