Rare earth magnets, straight pins
Cosmic Ray Research was a creative residency that took place at the Banff Centre for the Arts from September 15 - October 31, 2008. Led by London-based artist Janice Kerbel, the residency included presentations by guest lecturers, site visits, seminars, and film screenings related to the study of cosmic rays and exploring notions of the extraterrestrial in general.
My research in Banff focused on magnetism and magnetic healing, and in studio experiments I combined magnets with various materials to explore the senses and physical forces.
