Burn wood with electricity to create fractal patterns of tree branches.

in #art8 years ago

Paul Lemiski is a Canadian carpenter from Canadian Woodworks in Oto which uses electricity to burn a wooden board to create tree shapes. This type of pattern is known as the Lichtenberg figure or even electrical arborescences.


To do this, a large electrostatic discharge is sent to the surface of the wooden board. At its contact, flames create and disperse on the support, creating branches and leaves.
