Patty Cunningham 1924-2010
Image Generator...
A versatile, accomplished mural artist with wide-ranging styles. Patty had exquisite traditional taste and intrinsic charm. A lifetime of creations won clients across the country.
To decorate living space above her studio she designed this piece, titled Image Generator (72" X 96"). |
Elegant in complexity yet whimsical by containing infinite combinations of shapes. The inks used contain phosphors which cause them to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light emitted from black lights.
By turning the moving plates over, rectilinear objects appear which enlarge the 'puzzle'.
