For each of the pieces in her Imaginary Science series, Lucy H. G. studies various aspects of everyday life through the lens of science. The collection of works presents mundane objects or routines infused with animated scientific systems. The artist’s subjects range from the anatomy of a desk lamp to the flight of ceiling fans. Through models of the physics of flight, the circulatory system and other phenomena, a new science takes shape.

“Throughout my work I explore an array of scientific phenomena, from time to the molecular structure of water to the physics of flight. Yet mundane rituals, like eating dinner or bathing, become essential parts of my collection of physics. I take passing conversations and highlight them as pivotal moments of history. In the end, mine is the science of the ordinary, which, up close, appears extraordinary.” - Lucy H G
