Lewis Andrews/ Spring Issue

Lewis’s work acts as a conduit between art and science. The supply of information from science fuels the production of visual material, which communicates the knowledge of a scientific endeavour. In short, Lewis’s work focuses on addressing complex thoughts, ideas, and facts in nature and science. Some explore those in which we seem to be overshadowed and overpowered by the vast distances, sizes, or quantities. Others investigate moments of extreme power, creation, and rebirth on a molecular scale or on a scale comparable to that of the universe. Questioning our relationships, place, and role within the universe, environment, and natural spaces.

‘Singularity’ connects the distant monsters hiding in the cosmos with the delicate paradise of our pale blue dot. Astronomers managed to photograph not one but two shadows of black holes in recent years. A great achievement of not only science but humanity. Born out of the death of supergiant stars, or in most recent theories, the collapsing of giant gas clouds in the early universe, these titans will populate the cosmos for what seems almost an infinite amount of years to come. For humanity, to photograph a black hole is not only a quest for the actual photograph. It’s a quest to travel to the edge of the unknown at the event horizon and to stare face-to-face with an object that currently turns our understanding of physics upside down.
