About the Item
Edition of 8
Signed, titled, dated and numbered.
"This series exploits an optical phenomenon that occurs when visible light is distorted by the thin film membrane of a soap bubble. Soap bubbles deconstruct daylight, amplifying some wavelengths while canceling others out, creating an array of color that speaks to the complexity and mutability of what we see as “white” light.
Light waves, like ocean waves, have peaks and valleys. When two or more waves combine, the waves can meet each other crest-to-crest or they can meet crest-to-trough. When they meet crest-to-trough, for every "up" vibration in one wave there is a corresponding "down" vibration in the other wave. This combination of equal ups and downs results in the cancellation of their energies. This is referred to as destructive interference. When waves meet crest-to-crest their energies are amplified. This is called constructive interference.
These wave interactions are responsible for the pearly luster of an abalone shell, the beautiful colors in some bird feathers and insect wings, and for the color of soap bubbles. A bubble's colors are caused by a phenomenon known as thin-film Interference. When light bounces off soap film, there are reflections from both the front (outside) and back (inside) of the film. Interactions between these reflections, constructive and destructive interference, cause the colors we see. The specific colors are directly related to the film thickness. Thicker bubbles will display blues and greens, thinner bubbles, reds and yellows. Due to the influence of gravity, a soap bubble's walls are thinnest at the top and thickest at the bottom. This variation results in the tremendous array of color we see."

- 'Cicatrices 3' Large scale photo. Agave leaf, female tropical blue teal greenBy Sophia MilliganLocated in Penzance, GB'Cicatrices (3)' Limited edition archival photograph. Unframed, hand signed and numbered _________________ Scars of birthing in the unfolding leaf pattern of the giant graceful Agave. The sensual contradictions of silken flesh and the protective spines are a contemplation of motherhood's journey, the unfolding narrative impressed eternally upon the skin. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in joy and pain; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within... tangible traces, evidence left behind, records; process in action, stilled'. 40 x 60 inches Limited edition of 25 Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper, one of the most beautiful and high quality art papers available. The luxurious matt finish provides a reflection free image that is rich in detail, depth and tone. Hand signed, titled and numbered to the lower right corner on an approximately 1 inch white border. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity featuring a signature and edition number. * Please note that images of the artwork in situ and framed are an indication of how the piece can look, and in the context of other artworks. The artwork is being sold unframed. ________________________________ About The Artist Sophia Milligan...Category
