Collider / gilded mandala - Limited Edition of 12 Photograph

Collider is a laser cut C type photographic image, printed on Fuji metallic paper, and Diasec mounted between clear and black Perspex. It’s fitted with a hidden subframe, so it appears to float 15mm in front of the wall. .. Collider is a study that riffs on some of the contemporary thinking around quantum mechanics, the God particle and the Fibonacci sequence, and especially the idea that much of the underlying geometry of our universe conforms to this sequence. From the ratio of the bones in our hands, to the growth pattern of a sunflower head, to the curve of a wave breaking on a beach, and ultimately to the shape of our galaxy, the Fibonacci sequence is all around us. The Large Hadron collider at CERN sets out to investigate quantum mechanics, the search for the ‘God particle’, and the dark matter that may make up our universe. Fascinated by all this contemporary thinking, I felt it would be fitting to create a modern mandala that somehow radiates energy and is built using a reworked version of the Fibonacci numbers. Serendipitously it also engenders a kaleidoscopic, sun-like feel. There’s a lot more to be considered in this area, but as an initial starting point I like the idea that visual art can at least try to explore some of the big ideas of our time, using the studio as both research facility and laboratory. I also like the idea that ‘art’ may simply be another term for lifelong learning, and that a studio may simply refer to any space set aside for contemplation and research.
