<\/p>\nThis last week, I attempted to implement the techniques previously documented to create an intentional piece of artwork.
\nThe four variables i worked with, and had to deal with difficulties with, are polarization direction, tape direction, tape layering and thickness. The polarization filters change the light which passes through drastically, and i found flipping either filter can change which direction the “positive” angle is defined.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Changing the tape direction changed what color was viewed when depolarized, but this was also contingent on the polarizing angle, and so for one tape configuration, I also needed to define optimal alignment angles. The tape direction was very trial and error, and it took several tries to get colors which resembled the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Cutting the tape layers scratched the acrylic blocks, so I’m likely going to need to make a block for every version of each artwork, since the previous will be visible from the scratches. Also, using the regular scotch tape to affix the filter and block off sections i dont want to tape worked well except it is slightly visible (which may be a good thing, if used properly).<\/p>\n
There wasn’t one singular failure which I had to overcome, but a few, smaller obstacles. The common theme between the obstacles is the size of the piece, which is leading me to consider doing a larger piece. The only problem with that, is the cost since large polarizing filters can be expensive.<\/p>\n
