Originating from my Bic pen drawing, 'Electrons from Memory,' this installation reveals the hidden dimensions of bioplastic through both material and metaphor. The translucent bioplastic light box serves as both medium and subject, illuminating layered acetate prints that depict electrons as I recall them—memory made visible through artistic interpretation.

The arrangement creates a fascinating visual dialogue: the bioplastic sheet stretched across the wooden frame appears as if placed under scrutiny, while the detailed electron drawings function as microscopic views of its very essence. This recursive relationship—where the material is simultaneously examined and examiner.

The black and white acetate prints, with their organic, flowing forms and cellular-like structures, transform scientific memory into abstract cartography. When backlit, these intricate patterns reveal themselves fully, suggesting how illumination (both literal and metaphorical) changes our perception of the familiar. The wooden display case, glowing from within, elevates these microscopic visualisations to the status of precious specimens—worthy of preservation and contemplation despite the institutional challenges they represent.
