Capturing lightnings into resin
Artist Bert Hickman crafts stunning “Captured Lightning” sculptures by discharging 2.5 million volts into acrylic, forming intricate Lichtenberg figures—branching patterns that resemble frozen lightning bolts.
Capturing lightnings by unloading 2.5 million volts into resin blocks, that’s the pastime of artist Bert Hickman. To create these electrical trees, he uses the principle of the Lichtenberg figures, producing fractal artworks in transparent acrylic blocks. Amazing!
