Slate 1

Narrative

The Slate series represents experimentation between Polis and J Muzacz to further the concept of backlit mosaics. These abstract compositions seek to investigate the use of colored lighting. We've found that the tiles act as color filters; for instance, a red tile may only be illuminated by red, magenta, or orange light while blocking anything on the spectrum between green and blue. Passing smooth gradients of colored light between the tiles, intricately complex patterns emerge, further highlighted by the various individual textures of the underlying mosaic.

Slate-1 represents the first piece of our Slate series
