PARTICLES  ALL
 
This work attempts to explore visually and poetically, what 
can only be understood mathematically and cannot be seen by the eye at all.
 
 After a career of photographing people, places and things, I rediscovered my interest in abstraction, as well as a delight in exploring the place where physics and eastern philosophy intersect. These images are not illustrations; rather they explore such statements as “It has been concluded that the visible universe represents only a small part of the universe. The rest is formed by an invisible substance called dark matter. It’s existence has been suggested by experimental evidence, yet it’s characteristics remain unknown.”
These images, particles or pearls tossed across the cosmos, wonderlands of theory, are an attempt to translate that theory into poetic imagery.
The work consists of archival pigment prints sized up to 51x35, and painted and worked aluminum with transparencies.

    Dark Matter

    Archival pigment print 56x34. A mysterious invisible subtance that makes up about 27% of the universe. detectable only through its gravitational affects of visible matter like stars and galaxies.

  • Fundamental Constant
    Fundamental Constant

    Key physical quantities such as the speed of light that define the behavior of physical phenomenonms in the universe and are believed to be imutable. Archival pigment print 56x34.

  • String Theory
    String Theory

    Attempts to reconcile general relativity with quantum physics, resulting in the hoped for theory of everything.

  • Particle/Wave
    Particle/Wave

    Subatomic matter changes when observed and can be either a partcile or a wave, depending on how its measured.

  • Large Hadron Collider
    Large Hadron Collider

    Particle accelorator at CERN. It accelerates protons to nearly the speed of light.

  • Complementarity
    Complementarity

    Defines realtionships where distinc, often opposing elements are necessary to form complete understanding or system. It means quantum entities exhibit wave particle properties depending on observation.

  • Dual Nature of Light
    Dual Nature of Light

    Light exhibits a dual nature, behaving as both a wave and a partcile, depending on how its observed.
