More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Winner of the Jerwood Photography Prize 2003; Naglaa Walker has established herself as one of the most exciting young artists to emerge in recent years in the UK. Since 2000 her work has been seen in more than 25 exhibitions in the UK, Europe and the United States. Before taking an MA Fine Art Photography at the Royal College of Art, Naglaa Walker trained as a scientist, and worked briefly as a Physics researcher. She draws on this background, using diptyches which juxtapose blackboard images of chalked equations with carefully staged photographic images, enabling the viewer to make connections between the abstraction of physical laws and the reality of experience.
About the Author
John Gribbin is the award-winning author of many popular science books and probably the most well known UK writer and broadcaster on the subject. He lucidly illustrates how science uses imagery from everyday life as metaphors to communicate complex ideas in an understandable way. Sacha Craddock, leading art critic, writer and curator, provides a context within which to consider and evaluate Walker's work.

Guardian Review: Saturday December 18, 2004,
By buggs "happy snapper" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Physics (Hardcover)
The book by the new photography star Naglaa Walker could be the unexpected hit of 2005. The photos show wiped-out information or little scribblings on blackboards juxtaposed with images of teenagers sulking, looking in the fridge or playing with their mobile phones, plus photos of scientific instruments in a lab taken from wacky angles. Here's a sample of Naglaa's conceptual-art writing: "The successful lack of a universe has not stopped many question from physicists all the incorporate, including God, into super ordinary a mind unification..." This is exactly what it says and it goes on and on. The only explanation possible is that it's art. In fact it's supposed to be a new fusion of art and science.
