David Goldes - Science meets Art

Interesting  things happen when an artist is also a scientist--such is the case for Goldes. He became fascinated by the drawings made by Davy and Faraday as they experimented with electricity and Goldes recreated and then photographs these same experiments. The results are strange linear compositions that appeal as much to the art historian as to the scientist.
