First edition print of an image shot on black and white film, developed in coffee. This framed print was featured in my photography show, "Light Chasers: An Intersection of Art and Science" in Rochester, MN, in 2019. The finished framed dimensions of this piece are W 27" x H 33".
Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture on the campus of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester is reminiscent of the famous “double-slit” experiments of Thomas Young, who conducted interference experiments confirming the wave nature of light around 1801. Newton’s corpuscular theory of light competed successfully against a wave theory proposed by Christian Huygens. Young’s experiments contributed to the demise of the corpuscular theory. The wave theory would dominate scientific thought until the onset of quantum physics in the early 20th century. The title of this work anticipates the confusing results where the same experimental setup leads to competing conclusions as to whether light is a particle or a wave.
