Starburst 8 - Autumn Leaves on Black

Dye sublimation print on aluminum
Limited Edition of 20

Savor the warm colors of autumn leaves.

About the Design

Starburst 8 is the second Fractal Islamic Pattern I ever designed. It is a pattern which, like its companion piece, Infinity Bloom 8, prominently features the eight-fold rosette commonly found in art and architecture throughout the Islamic world.

Gradual shading from bright yellow through deep garnet red give the piece an appearance of back lighting, drawing viewers into the center. The overall impression is of an outwardly expanding explosion, or an inwardly contracting tunnel, depending on the viewer and angle.

This first print of this piece (1/20) is part of the permanent collection at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University.

About the Edition

This piece is offered as a Limited Edition, meaning only a limited number will ever be printed. Specifically, I will offer 5 prints at each of 4 sizes, for a total edition size of 20. Each piece will include a signature and edition number on the back, as well as a Certificate of Authenticity. When all 20 are sold, no more will be made.

About the Material

This piece is printed via dye sublimation on aluminum with a semi-gloss finish, giving it a clean, glossy look without extreme reflections. This is an incredibly durable medium, suitable for collectors. You can read more on the Materials FAQ.

What People Say

This piece reminds me of amber and candlelight. The warmth of the color pattern feels like the sun is shining on me or that I am drinking a warm cup of tea in the colder months.
