Nano Tree | Interactive Ferrofluid Sculpture

Made of a solid Red Oak block, drill-pressed and hand-sanded to a silky smooth texture, then double-stained and sealed with a semi-gloss coating. The matching magnetic stylus is also handworked from a solid Red Oak dowel, with a drilled cavity to snuggly house the neodymium magnet. High-quality laboratory grade glass chamber is sealed with a custom-made closure to root the Nano Tree trunk in place.

A fascinating characteristic of ferrofluid is its ability to follow the grooves on a magnetized piece of metal. This is the classic, "Magnetized bolt experiment". It’s incredibly satisfying watching ferrofluid spiraling around the grooves. The passive ferrofluid bud is equally as impressive. In summary a blending of high technology nanochemistry and old-world craftsmanship.
