Back in the Glow: Updates from the Studio Lessons Learned Managing the Heat (Literally) for Plasma Art

Back in the glow ✨ I’ve been quiet here, but the past couple months I did my first juried show, rigged an Arduino setup for a plasma sculpture, and started apprenticing with the Plasma Yoda.

Bluey potty training stickers next to glowing phosphor powder of different colors

Also, I just got some new color phosphors to play with, and my kid got her Bluey potty training sticker journey..

Perfecting the Plasma Panel Glowing plasma inside! Plus works in progress and new experiments in the studio/laboratory 👩🏻‍🔬

A work in progress post on what plasma panels I've created so far and what improvements I'm working on.

What parts of this process might you be interested in hearing more about?

Thank you!! Appreciate your kind words ☺️

Thought this was Toreba at first, almost re-downloaded the app 😅

Forgot to post this earlier because I had to figure out how to get under the 50MB file limit without looking blurry, but here's a little behind-the-scenes vlog of how I made the rainbow plasma panel! 🌈

I need this projected on my ceiling while falling asleep. Love it!!

Aw shucks thank you! I am but a baby plasma artist, but yes it's a lot to learn! But very cool and very fun.

Thank you!! 😊

Yay! Hope you enjoy it!

How to make art with the fourth state of matter A birds eye view for anyone new to plasma glass art

For anyone curious how neon and plasma glass art is made, I've just published a high-level post going over the basic steps!

Plus, some plasma art from artists who've inspired me along the way.

Check out this crazy magic I discovered in the studio today! 🤯

Neon with blue and green phosphors! Phosphors are not as strong as they’d be with other gasses but you can still see it and it’s really rad.

One fun thing about plasma art is seeing how different pieces can interact with each other. I’m not science-y enough to fully explain what’s totally going on here (especially within the character limit), but it’s super cool!

A New Chapter Where I've been, how did we get here, and new adventures

For those curious to check out some behind-the-scenes of my plasma art process, I’m starting a blog!

This first post ended up being a little more personal and vulnerable than I had anticipated, but figured I’d talk about how I went from sextech entrepreneur to plasma art.

Plasma mystery! 🕵🏻 This concha seems to hold a vacuum and it powers up with a single electrode transformer. However it doesn't power up with transformers for two electrode pieces.

Maybe the path is blocked in the glass? I'm a bit stumped.

4 small glass pieces, work in progress for making plasma panels.

It may not be as exciting as finished work, but the experiments are still important.

Now that I’ve made a few plasma panels on my own, I’m figuring out different ways to make the process smoother for myself. We’ll see what happens! 🤓

#workinprogress #art #glass #fusedglass #Januarty Day 16

I made a backup of this piece in case one went awry, but both made it and I filled this with krypton gas!

I love how twitchy krypton can be. I'm looking forward to adding more phosphors to my work since that adds more color possibilities.

#art #neon #glass #fusedglass #plasma #JanuArty Day 15

📢 Just listen to those raw buzzy sounds. ⚡ Filled the second (back up) anime piece I mentioned yesterday! This is a mix of krypton and neon.

While I like the look of the first piece better, I like how much more interactive this second one is.

#art #neon #glass #fusedglass #plasma #JanuArty Day 13

Another work in progress: my second/backup anime panel. If all goes well going to play around with a different gas mixture with this one.

#art #neon #glass #fusedglass #plasma #JanuArty Day 12

Work in progress: Concha (Mexican pastry) version 3. Love working with the pink glass! Hoping to fill with neon gas, maybe will experiment with krypton too.

Anatomy textbooks have included and excluded this body part over time, so I figured I’d… uh, point it out to them again.

Glass screenprinted an image from an old medical textbook, then lit the whole thing up in neon.

#art #neon #glass #fusedglass #plasma #SciArt #JanuArty Day 10

My favorite plasma piece yet! Ever since I saw boro beads in plasma panels I’ve been wanting to experiment with creating a manga/comic book feel. Pretty happy with this one. Hoping to experiment with different characters and expressions.

New year, time to vacuum test some pieces.

Panarchy basement -- stereos on a small stage. Background is painted in clouds and a blue sky. Black lights are hung at the top of the walls. There's "Rave On" painted on the wall and a red shiny heart pasted to the wall.

Another oldie but goodie for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 16: That time I photographed a bunch of greek houses at Dartmouth and some of them got published in the alumni magazine.

This is one of my favorites from the Panarchy basement.

Black and white charcoal drawing of two teapots. One teapot is reflected on the other teapot.

Day 15 #ArtAdventCalendar is an oldie but goodie, a large-ish (2'x3') charcoal drawing of two teapots. 🫖🫖

This was part of an assignment to experiment with inanimate objects. I enjoyed playing with the reflection from the super shiny teapot.

Yellow glass duck with an orange bill and black eyes. Looks like a rubber duck, but glass.

Day 14 #ArtAdventCalendar is a glass duck! #glass #glassblowing #art

Blue donkey crayon drawing colored on bath tub tile

Day 13 #ArtAdventCalendar by request from the kiddo I’ve added the humble donkey to the animal bath tub crayon mural.

Green sapote fruit

Just got some green sapote seeds and going to try to grow a tree… maybe it’ll eventually fruit, maybe it’ll die. Who knows if you don’t try right? #exoticfruit
