DATA from Nature
Richard Weston Studio creates high-resolution digital images for innovative surface design applications in architecture, urban spaces and gardens. The gallery below shows examples captured from the materials we use to generate unique, bespoke files to suit individual projects, locations and clients.
Sources
Sources
The picture above illustrates some of the materials we work with in generating images. These include minerals such as agate, quartz, fluorite, orbicular jasper and Paesina Stone; fossils such as ammonites and marine conglomerates; geological 'thin sections' (generally scanned using polarised light); and richly patinated surfaces such as Roman glass. We also create sources by manipulating paints and harnessing chemical reactions and biological processes.
Scanning
Scanning
Source materials are scanned using either flatbed scanners or a purpose-designed Nikon microscope system with a built-in camera, moving stage and motorised Z-axis - the latter both accurate to a fraction of a 1 micron. Very large images can be assembled seamlessly from multiple captures enabling us to create super-high-resolution files large enough for any task.
