Electric Field - Limited Edition 1 of 5 Print

My practice involves the practical, theoretical and historical investigation of the traditions of making abstract and non-pictorial but coherently shaped or patterned images using physical science equipment. The formations appear to be substantially self-authoring and generative, and use techniques that are to some degree dependent on natural, random processes. These include Lichtenberg figures that capture the shape of electrostatic discharges, the making of equally dendritic, fractal patterns through diffusion-limited aggregation, and the harnessing of pendulum oscillations, waves, air or fluid turbulence to distribute pigment dust or paint. After completing my undergraduate degree in Fine Art, I collaborated with a researcher at Bath University for an outreach event to do with visualizing physics. I am currently collaborating with scientists at CERN to visually analyse particle tracks in cloud chambers and have recently shown work my physics and science work at Imperial College, London. I graduated from the MA Art and Science course at Central Saint Martins and have recently initiated the formation of a doctorate studentship. I have worked with Gustav Metzger, Andy Goldsworthy and Robert Whitman.
