Playing with Aerogel, I was also reminded of some of my earliest works, when, in 1961, I used acrylic monomers to create ‘invisible reflections’. I realized I was working with a material that was as close to the immaterial as was possible for a solid. It reacted to light in much the same way as the sky.
