Create something day 3: Searching for bokeh · Stef Lewandowski

Then, at lunch time I popped into the Ikon Eastside, where Massimo Bartolini has an exhibition on at the moment. One of the pieces consisted of a large tank of what appeared to be thick black oil oscillating in a standing wave with a wavelength that was exactly the length of the tank. Suspended in the middle of the tank was a single spherical light that was dipped in the liquid as the liquid oscillated up and down. Quite mesmerising. The images don’t do it justice.

Then, later that evening I grabbed a couple of portraits of two of my fellow conspirators on the Creative Republic project - Jemima Cattel and Karl Binder.
