Flavin Pigment:Cochineal Red

Flavin Pigment:Cochineal RedNamed for the artist who made sculpture out of fluorescent tubes of light. He once warned us that his lights would go out, but there is no electric light coming out of these little sculptures. Just glass to let some daylight in. A thin line of pure fine art pigment set in thick quartz, housed in precision machined black anodized aluminum and attached with a ribbed magnetic clasp.

Made with 3M dichroic laminated between two magnifying crystals

A magenta mirror that shifts to translucent cyan blue as it moves

It's a circus trick

The eye flickers between the two bands
