About the Item

"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."

"…Here we go alone and like it better so...Now lying recumbent…this incessant making up of shapes and casting them down…this incessant ringing up and down of curtains of light and shade, this interminable experiment with gold shafts and blue shadows, with viewing the sun and unveiling it, with making rock ramparts and wafting them away – this endless activity…One should not let this gigantic cinema [of clouds] play perpetually to an empty house…"

On Being Ill
This series began from my bed photographing clouds tripping along the horizon of the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, home to Los Alamos National Laboratory. I had just moved to my small studio perched high that I’d cobbled together over several years. My casual cloud gazing immediately became part of a pain-lessening arsenal - and how lucky for me living in an amphitheatre with an unexpected generous subject – a nearly 24-hour a day theater. The title of this series comes from an exchange with a friend about war...
