An interpretation of Weaire-Phelan's lab book
Having attended the engrossing and entertaining "Pop! The Fun and the Physics of Bubbles" evening given in the W5 Interactive Discovery Centre in Belfast by Denis Weaire and Trinity College Dublin's Foams and Complex Systems Group, I spent the following week playing with the cell structures that were kindly distributed to the audience at the end of the show. I decided to use them to form a sculptural piece of work. It is currently (until May 15, 2011) on display at The FE McWilliams Gallery, Banbridge.

As an illustrator and printmaker I am fascinated by ideas and the process of translating those ideas into reality. So I constructed a giant lab book (I'm sure just like the one that was used to house all the 'workings out' that eventually solved the Kelvin Problem ....). This book is the platform on which the cells are built on, like individual thought bubbles that come together to produce a bigger idea.
