About the Item
The alchemists in their ‘Magnum Opus’ sought to cipher a ‘Philosopher’s Stone,’ a mythical substance which would not only convert common metals into precious ones, but was the key to formulating the ‘Elixir of Life,’ resulting in immortality/eternal youth/spiritual emancipation. For Gleason, his prima materia is a solid bar of silver which is dissolved in concentrated nitric acid. Once the nitric acid has evaporated, the compound element, silver nitrate (AgNO3) a white, powdery solid remains. Silver nitrate is mixed with sodium hydroxide to create silver oxide which is dissolved in ammonium to create a compound that can be applied to the surface of the canvas with, in Jimi’s case, an airbrush. This industrial coating method is highly toxic, and physically demanding in its labor, characteristic of West Coast Minimalist’s and the Light & Space movement’s interests in exploring industrial materials and processes.
