Gravity Skateboards team rider Sergio Yuppie goes unreasonably fast on his skateboard. Still photography cannot capture what he does.
I demonstrate gravity grip. This leaf of the Peace Lily Livio is almost upright, yet large water droplets remain glued to the leaf structure. Even after movement they stubbornly remain loyal in grip force.The answer is based on the fundamental principle of free energy, that everything in nature seeks the lowest possible energy state. Shanahan modeled two types of dew drops on a theoretical (simplified) cone-shaped leaf: a thin, cylindrical sheath of water and a spherical drop centered on the cone’s axis. In both cases, he found that the drop lowered its energy by moving toward the point of the leafSo how does this leaf repel water?
To understand this, __we first need to know what it means to get wet. __Since water molecules attract each other, a blob of water wants to shrink inwards. That's why a water blob floating in space is round, like a sphere (it's the most 'shrunken-in' shape). But down here on Earth, water isn't floating in mid-air. It's sitting on some surface, like your table, your bathtub, or a leaf. This surface pulls down on the water, and squishes the sphere into a pancake. So it looks more like this.
In fact, you can measure just how 'wettable' a surface is by calculating its contact angle.
The more a surface attracts the water, the more it squishes the ball into a pancake, and the wetter the surface.
(1)Gravity. 2010.Mixed Media on canvas. 80 x 100 cm.
This painting is the second in a series the explores images taken by astronauts of the Earth from space. Gravity is probably the most powerful force in the universe. It is responsible for every natural formation on the planet. When I was painting this picture I became aware of the external factors that where influencing the painting such as the room temperature and how it affected the chemical reactions. The most powerful external factor that influenced the painting was gravity. The frame that the canvas is stretched on is slightly warped and this influenced where the media settled and created formations on the canvas. It is also responsible for the way that the colours blend and the textures in the painting.
A cold gray, rainy Saturday and I didn't feel like venturing out into the elements, so I took few shots from the patio door of the rain collecting on our Gazebo frame which was refracted in the drops as they gathered enough mass to break free of surface tension and yield to gravitational forces.

This is another old photograph from a random shoot with my sister. We played with make up art and costuming and put an out of place figure (a bedecked young woman) in an in-contextual setting. This photo is originally in color, however the image is sharpened (and, I think, dramatized) by the use of black and white.
