Aluminum Corrosion

diluted lye household drain cleaner corrodes aluminum flashing

revealing a grain buried in the material during the production process

the panel's textured surface and pitted transparency appear in turn,
as light shifts through the course of the day

throw some bark on the barbie

wood in raw form = opportunity for free material + hikes in the woods = mega bonus
