►THE MEANING OF #: Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are, help us to spend them as we should. We are only here in this world for a short period of time. ►WOOD MATERIAL: Locally source desert hardwood is uniquely hand-crafted and custom designed from weathered-down trees found around the metropolitan Phoenix areas. Acquiring these logs allows me to create 100% sustainable art, repurposed live edge wood design. Handmade in North Peoria, Arizona.
►FRACTAL ART: A process of applying 20,000 volts of electricity on the surface of the wood with conductive solution and recreating a lightning strike in slow motion as well as unique abstract figures, tree and vein like shapes. The fractal design on the heart represents the beautiful life and memories of the person that he or she shared with family and friends. ►EPOXY INLAY: Any voids or cracks from the wood are sealed with epoxy to maintain the integrity of the wood. Epoxy inlay with clear or color pigment is also use to seal the burns created during fractal art process on the surface of the wood. ►EPOXY COLORS: For fractal art designs: ANGEL WHITE, AQUA MARINE, ARIZONA GOLD, ARMY GREEN, BLACK, CARDINAL METALLIC, CARIBBEAN BLUE, DESERT COPPER, EMERALD METALLIC, GOLDEN YELLOW, GRAY METALLIC, HOT PINK, HUNTER GREEN, ORANGE, PEARL WHITE, PURPLE METALLIC, RED, SKY BLUE, TEAL METALLIC, TURQUOISE BLUE ►OIL FINISH: Hand rubbed finish using Old Masters gel polyurethane clear satin gel oil and John Boos mystery oil. It brings out the natural beauty of wooden surfaces; durable coating for use on wood surfaces and contains ultraviolet absorbers for advanced sun protection.
