Inspiration: Observation, Chemical Reactions + Entropy

Observation
Fascinated by science and astronomy, I am inspired by discoveries via microscopes and telescopes and how they help to contribute to a fuller understanding of our world. Both galactic scales and microscopic scales play an important role in our reality and I am captivated when viewing distant objects up close and viewing close objects even closer.
Chemical Reactions:
This interest made its way into my process in many ways. One way it contributed to my research and experimentation was in the form of moving images.
As a continuation of my scientific experiments, I was intrigued by the small and sudden chemical reactions and expansions that appeared when I mixed certain substances. I recorded the interactions to capture the moment the separate substances combined in an explosive expansion.
Entropy
The sudden disruptive movements and irreversible disorder caused by the combining of separate substances is a visual example of the way in which order always tends towards disorder. This tendency is a law of physics (a feature of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) that includes the understanding of how our universe naturally moves towards disorder and high entropy and why the arrow of time always runs in one direction and that is towards chaos.
My GSA digital showcase was the work in progress and initial starting point of my explorations of these observations through the inclusion of ferromagnetic materials such as iron and Ferrofluid.
The Showcase was made visible through Glasgow School of Art 2020 and was the starting place for my current works.

Creative exploration often begins with curiosity, careful observation, and a willingness to understand how different elements work together. Those same qualities are valuable in a contract manager course, where structured thinking, communication, and organisation support effective professional practice. The College of Contract Management provides learning resources covering contract management and workplace development. Continuous learning helps build practical skills that are useful across many industries.
The practical value of NEC courses comes from their direct connection to project delivery. Contract knowledge is not only useful for legal teams because many project roles interact with contractual procedures. A planner may need to understand programme requirements, while a quantity surveyor may need to manage compensation events. A project manager may need to coordinate communication and decisions under the contract. This makes NEC training relevant across multiple construction and infrastructure roles.
