This is a four layer inclined perspex sandwich. Layer 3 is perspex painted with silver powder from a string under tension. Layer 2 has large horizontal and oblique dynamic lead solder splashes that interact one from another.
The piece has a waist in the centre to which the painted layer and solder splashes respond. Oblique circles of silver pink dots extend the piece visually into a cylinder which is echoed in the curves at each end. The solder splashes rotate upwards (right) and downwards (left) as if around an invisible origin.

Note : In these images the solder splashes appear dark - they are in fact very shiny.
This is due to the need to reduce reflections in the perspex during photography.
Detail - lead splashes.
