ChipScape Blooms - Items tagged as "Framed artwork"

ChipScape Blooms are some of the most enjoyable pieces I make, partly because they let a hidden world open up in an unexpected way. Each one begins with a traditional ChipScape—an image of a silicon computer chip photographed through a microscope, using carefully angled light to reveal patterns that normally stay buried inside the chip.

When I turn a ChipScape into a Bloom, I take that rectangular slice of technology and “bend” it into a perfect circle. The change is simple, but the effect is striking: the hard lines of the microchip suddenly arrange themselves into something soft and organic, like a cathedral’s Rose Window or the petals of a flower just beginning to open. It’s technology reshaped into something familiar and human, and people are often surprised by how warm and alive it feels.
