About the artwork Properties of Light

The series "Starship Sailing" is inspired by findings from astrophysics and particle physics. It was created after a collaboration with scientists at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) in Hamburg, 2017.

Technique: Fine, linear ink drawings trace the structure of torn paper. Under a dark centre, shapes rise from the structure of the paper. Embossing and incising give the sheet a sculptural dimension. Subtle lines of colour give the impression of rays of light. The drawing makes reference to the "double-slit experiment". An artistic exploration of the dual nature of light.
