Nanocrystals

3m, 1.8m and 1.2m diameter

 

Four armed carbon nano crystals are found in solar panels. These amazing man made crystals generate electricity when photons from sunlight hit them. They have inspired me to explore the concept of how energy is created and the role of carbon in the world.   My preoccupation focuses on the idea of plants generating energy from sunlight via their leaves, plant growth and expiration.
