This is a four layer inclined perspex sandwich in two sections arranged along a horizontal bar. Layer 3 is perspex painted with silver powder evaporation rings. Layer 2 has an array of lead solder splashes.
The piece is arranged as the echo of two arcs that contain the neutral arrangement of photons in a retinal array.

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 - oblique.
