Lantern fly inverse

Petra shows the outer beauty and wonderful mathematics of nature and removes restrictions of scale and materiality from her subject matter by transferring it to the digital world. With a great eye for detail, she makes a three-dimensional drawing, composed of a grid of vectors and colors of the chosen subject. This digital grid then forms the basis for a play of lines which shows the digital, vector interpretation of the natural phenomenon in materials such as wood, aluminum, metal or silk, in combination with a sample of colors that the original once possessed. This work of art is the original drawing before the digital line grid is converted into material. The final digital file is then transferred to photographic material. The very contemporary production process is the highest possible quality in terms of clarity, sharpness and color saturation. The final top layer consists of Diasec® plexiglass or liquid glass.
