Stainless steel images: anisotropic calligraphy

Here are the first of a series of images ground into steel. I did experiments with making gestural images in stainless steel, but they are hard to photograph since they generate a multiplicity of views depending upon the angle of the lights relative to the viewer and the image (examples to come). Below two images (the fish, the horizon scene) barely ground into the surface mill-scum of regular steel. Steel is harder than stainless and so the grinding is just on surface and therefore lacks the holographic quality of grinding into stainless steel.
