BEAUTY OF DISCOVERY

Crystals of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate spill out of and engulf laboratory glassware in “The Chemistry of it All,” a sculpture by Sophie Romer, an art student with a chemistry minor at Lancaster University, in England. For this work, Romer experimented with crystal growth on glass and other surfaces in Lancaster’s chemistry teaching labs. The crystals spring from the glassware uncontrollably, reflecting the release and dissemination of discoveries to the scientific community, she says. Just like those discoveries, the crystals need the support of the tools with which they were forged.

Romer thanks lab technicians John Baum and John Crosse for teaching her about crystal growth and helping her in the lab.
