Conductor iii Charged Vessels and Infinite Bodies series Photograph - Limited Edition of 30

This photographic work originally grew out of a fascination with storm and lightning imagery and its associated myth. I looked at how science evolved out of the early 15th century alchemists investigations into substances and reactions whilst artist in residence at the Bakken Museum of Electricity in Minneapolis. At this time early scientific investigation of magnetism and chemical substances was still intertwined with magic, religion and mysticism. In my work images of metamorphosis are often explored; raw electricity into lightning, maps of how energy flows, how it’s created, held and transmitted. Histological images and scientific glassware are set alongside a range of objects, ranging from eggs, blood, branch and roots, to microscopic projections of webs, dirt and insect wings. Projection onto drafting film is a key element in the construction and presentation in much of the work; it elicits an instant abstracting of image and scale in which a cosmos can be projected into a jar and plant roots transform into forest like arteries. Distinctions between genres are blurred and in making the work, the act of projection provides the ability to contrast seemingly disparate images or objects and draw comparisons on the macro and micro level. Contrasted with this are references to stories, myths and folk tales that often embody a symbolic metamorphosis.
