| Summary: | Susan Derges' work is an inquiry into the rhythms and cycles of nature, that explores both the elemental and metaphorical properties of water, mercury, shadow, ice, tree branches, and tadpoles. Her photograms visualize the unseen orders of science, the music of matter, and the interplays of process and organic form. Using sound wave vibrations to align powder into different geometric shapes, her Chladni Figures (1985) evoke the speeding paths of atomic particles. In Hermetica (1989) she places mercury at the vertex of a speaker cone, producing photograms resonant of shell patterns. This remarkably beautiful and original book includes an essay by Martin Kemp, technical notes describing how each series was made, and a biography. |
