Neo Vidro

Neo Vidro engraves nature and wildlife into the surface of glass with a diamond point and a rotary engraver. A line, once drawn, cannot be erased; and the engraved line disappears and reappears with the angle of the light. I began by asking how the site's colours and motion could receive this quality.

The site is built in lapis blue and gold, with serif type and generous space. Nothing was borrowed from the other sites I have made; it carries a strong identity made for Neo Vidro alone.

Motion is unified around words and works that gently rise into view: a translation, onto the screen, of the way an engraved line appears on glass as the light shifts.

Works in each chapter are joined like a constellation; press a star to move to that work. Only connections with a real basis in the works are drawn. On each work's page you can enlarge the piece to see the engraving in detail.

Three chapters, on material, motif and perception, set out the artist's thoughts on making, and "Words and Path" gathers words shared on social media with records of exhibitions, awards and features. The site was finished with the artist checking each part, and the news continues to be updated after launch.
