In 2018 I completed a commission for the entranceway of the School of Physics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University in London. While developing this work I spent time with professors and students from the school, drawing inspiration from physical concepts including string theory, phase transitions and neutrino particles. In response to these ideas I made seven spheres, each embedded with a complex structure magnified by the natural lens of its rounded shape.
As an installation the lighting is integral to the piece. The spheres are illuminated by a network of fibre optic lighting hidden inside the tripod legs, giving the installation a presence both day and night.
