Forking Out

One of the first things I noticed about my fork is how shiny the surface is. I’ve always found it interesting that although labeled as clear the plastic is not, even water has a glare when the sun hits it.

It would be interesting to create a clear fork out of a material with the same density as water. It seems, then, that placing it in water should make it disappear. Since it’s the same density as water, it would slow down the light the same amount and with the water filling in around it, there should be no outline with which to see it.

An interesting idea.

    An interesting idea indeed.

    Elimination of outline is something I consider conceptually
    as a possible interaction/outcome of interaction.

    The water-matched density fork
    is something I will pursue in poams to come,
    with acknowledgment to you

    –thanks!
