Bike cogs and old chains, some rusty steel reinforcing grid and two, time-worn wooden coast path planks. What treasure! What potential!  

What?

Well, kinetic energy at an atomic level is central to Jo’s chemical analyses. This is hugely complex science but is fascinating and a jumping off point for thinking outside the box in creative terms.

For some time I’ve been mulling over how to provide insight into one particular process, which relies on kinetic energy and is undertaken by incredibly intricate equipment. A cutting edge machine, controlled by computers, uses precision engineering and pinpoint calibration to produce results. And none of this process is visible.

So with this in mind, I have begun creating…………

Bringing together elements of process, mechanics and materials, with movement generated by human interaction, breathes life into an otherwise hidden method of data collection. Set against its broader rationale and placed within the context of both my work and Jo’s, this is my metaphorical take on one hugely important analytical procedure.

‘Atoms in motion’ will be included in a new video showcasing my work, coming soon.
