Cloud Chamber series. 1998. Oil on canvas. 11 x 12 inches

These paintings are based on photographs of particle trails recorded with the use of a cloud chamber, a device used in early particle physics experiments (c. 1911) to map the passage of charged particles emitted as a result of radioactive decay. While these trails appear as aesthetically pleasing abstract designs, this aspect of the experiment is wholly unintended, bringing into focus the human tendency to project meaning and beauty onto even the most banal or arbitrary imagery.

Molotov Remix - consists od a jpg of Joy Garnett's painting "Molotov" sliced into 121 43px X 52px images. Each sliced image is randomly loaded via java script into one of 121 cells of an html table.
Users may click on the "Recompose" link to achieve a new randomly generated recomposition each time. The chances of users hitting upon a perfect realignment of image slices is less than winning the lottery, but just in case I have a "fair use" argument ready.
