Working notes
Lithium mesh
Inspired by Lucio Fontana's work and his desire to bring art and science together.
Quarks & leptons are the building blocks of matter — I've created a series of events, using curls & waves, that interpret a geometric construct of a particle's properties. In this case it is Lithium-7. The curved structures create a framework that allows for connections and entangled systems to manifest. Finally the surface is flattened to 2D-form for observation. The viewer experiences the unravelled results — challenging perceptions that things are often not what they appear to be — a tangible expression of how nature at the very small scale may be formed, by complicated structures and events that are concealed from us. Ultimately satisfying Fontana's theory of spatial art — to produce a work of art that was 'neither painting nor sculpture'.
Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize, 2016 : Highly Commended.
