No. 98 Californium
My 6" x 6" tile for the Periodic Printmaking Project. www.flickr.com/groups/periodictable/
Californium was first synthesized at the University of California, Berkeley by researchers Stanley G. Thompson, Kenneth Street, Jr., Albert Ghiorso and Glenn T. Seaborg in 1950.
I wanted my print to convey movement and seismic activity. I created the background texture to represent ocean currents. The blue box has linework I created from a USGS map which shows the Liquefaction Hazard and Shaking Amplification Maps of the Berkeley area (doesn't that sound scary?).
Print was silkscreened in two ink colors. I will be mailing it this week.
