Basic Ingredients Of A Complex World

2012–Present


In 1963, Time/Life published Matter, the inaugural title of the Life Science Library Series with an essay written by Ralph Eugene Lapp, a renowned Manhattan Project physicist. C. P. Snow, a noted scientist who served as a consultant for the book, was concerned with the effect of science on culture. Snow argued that the general public deserved to engage with science on the same level that they consumed literature. Using a variety of process–based techniques, this series is a play on the photograph as document, drawing attention to the medium’s connection to language.
