Matt Doogue: Magnetic Fields

Art takes many forms, and our natural world is abundant with masterpieces.

From the intricate structure of a leaf to the beautiful carved out mountains of Scotland. There is art all around us. Patterns, colours and shapes, joining as one to create the most beautiful art in the world.

Over the years, digital art and generative art created from code have paved way for some of the most dynamic and emotional creations.

With this piece, titled Magnetic Fields, I wanted to try and capture some of that.

This macro photograph is showing the magnetic field from two magnets. Extremely fine iron filings have been sprinkled above and allowed to form naturally on the canvas, revealing the magnetic fields that would otherwise be invisible to the human eye. In doing this, a natural pattern is shown, and a beautiful piece of art is revealed.
