Cameron Potts The pleasure of finding things out

The pleasure of finding things out is inspired by the short essays of the late physicist Richard Feynman and the scientific method of ‘viewing scales’ – in particular the beauty of smaller scales when apprehending the natural world. I’ve chosen the view of a magnifying glass to illustrate the wonder of peering at the microcosmos of my housemate’s veggie patch.

I also wanted to share the intelligence that is woven in the matrix of soil and air, through roots and chemical paths that science is only now starting to explore. I wanted to represent this symphony and show it is not unconnected to the larger world.
