'Finding Patterns' is a growing project website of researches, experiences and projects made since joining Imperial College Physics Department as artist in residence on April 1st 2011.
I am interested in how discovering the universe through physics can inform the way we see the world and and how this richness in understanding can marry with art and life.
On this site you will find writings and imagery from the conversations I have had, a journal where I gather thoughts from time to time and a gallery of images that I've made. There is a growing scrapbook of interesting and resonant things from art, science and life.
Good places to start are my first journal entry and my understanding of physics.
You may also like to visit the project "Haiku for an Electromagnetic Wave", where physicists and others share how they envision this ubiquitous though abstractly understood phenomenon in the economic format of a haiku.
I would like to thank the physicists at Imperial College and a few others around the globe who have shared their ways of seeing the world and given me so much encouragement. In particular, I thank my physicist collaborator - Terry Rudolph for helping get our project started and his unceasing support and inspiration.
We are grateful to everyone at the Leverhulme Trust for generously and enthusiastically supporting the first year of our project as part of the Leverhulme Artist in Residence Programme.
We are delighted and proud to announce that our 2012/13 programme is supported by an award from Imperial College and EPSRC.
