Bottom	Contents Page	Introduction
This is one of four pieces built to hang on the wall or free stand in a perspex box. They use self adhesive LED strips which can be powered by a transformer or a battery pack. The advantage of the batteries is that you can get away from having a mains lead; the down-side is that the batteries need recharging.

	The front screen of this piece is of blue tissue paper stretched over a frame, lit from behind with blue LED's. The effect is of a deep and resonant blue field which stands in contrast to the red/yellow core.
	This side view shows the two layers of the piece and the darker rear section that can contain either a battery pack or a transformer for a 12 volt supply.
	The core of the work is this three by three grid that glows in a way that suggests to me the molten core of the title.
	By looking at the same section from an angle you can see the 3D structure of the piece. The front screen stands forward of the central square, but the square itself is built up to define the edge of the core.

The work is made of foam card covered with tissue paper and situated within a perspex box. It is lit by self adhesive LED strips. Dimensions: 400mm x 400mm x 100mm.
