Magnetic Fields Drawings


Flint Weisser , a soon-to-be Pratt minted MFA, created a series of beautiful drawings by capturing the complex interactions of magnetic fields. Each piece consists of magnets bolted to steel plates and covered with a thin film of nickel particles sandwiched in plastic. The nickel particles act like iron filings to align themselves to the magnets' fields. It's fascinating to see the invisible electromagnetic world brought to our eyes in these glowing lines and shapes.
