Exploration of the space and content of a bin including my favourite lunchtime snacks and great unfinished DIY projects.

This photograph shows the marks left behind after moving a plant pot. The image describes the effects of gravity; the circle created by the weight of the pot, the spinning motion that created the pot, and the random dispersion of particles as they hit the ground. These simple marks could be seen as sub-atomic particles orbiting a nucleus, or at the other end of the scale, a planetary system caught in space.

As a successful graduate of Edinburgh's Napier University, I was invited to show my work as part of the 2012 BA Photographic Studies degree show. This image, along with three others that I selected as being significant in the development of my commercial and creative direction were exhibited. Reader in Photography at Napier University, Robin Gillanders, commented:

"the very mundane action of moving a plant pot has been related to the complex theorem of 'Higgs Boson'. The addition of the title lifts the picture conceptually from simply a formal composition to another level altogether. It is a photograph of marks left behind after moving a plant pot, but it is about the action of gravity".
