Color Cast: Dichroic
In Color Cast: Dichroic, I am continuing my observation of how color is reflected and bent out of light. I am moving from a gathering of found light to a studio study using strobe light, where I use dichroic glass fragments to split, reflect, and cast light of different colors onto sketchbook pages. Dichroic glass, used for various scientific and industrial applications, including photography, is coated with a microscopically thin layer of material that reflects small parts of the visible spectrum and allows the rest of the wavelengths to pass through. This is the same principle at play when we observe colorful bands on the surface of oily water. This phenomenon is also known as thin film interference or disruptive optics.
