Synopsis
From Wired, Nov 1994: Picture Dunitz...holding a paintbrush wired into a nearby power supply. Dipping this brush into an electrolyte mixture, he then attacks the surface of sheets of reactive metals. Electricity flows through the brush to the metal: by changing the voltage, he manipulates the layers of oxidation and, in turn, the colors...Intermittently, he etches grooves and scratches into the surface with a grinder or wire brush. But it's...the photography, that gives his work its shadows, turbulence, and dreamlike mystery. Using as many as 30 lights to illuminate one evocative image, Dunitz takes weeks to explore the pieces. 104 pages; 52 color photographic plates; 16.5 x 13.5 inches. Includes brief biography and bibliography; artist's notes; list of plates. Edition limited to 5000 copies.

Photographer Jay Dunitz stumbled upon it in a neighbor's backyard and became entranced by the painterly qualities of its rusting metal surfaces. All orders packed with care, most dust jackets protected by Brodart sleeve, independent bookseller since 2011. Signed by the Artist. Seller Inventory # 14055
