Quantum Reality (Large Buckyball Around Trees), 2007

Steel, 30' (9 m) diameter

Location: Private Collection (Portland, OR)

This piece was inspired by research I participated in as a graduate student demonstrating that single C-60 buckyballs (Buckminsterfullerenes) "go through two openings at once", showing genuine quantum behavior despite their large size. For the 1999 Nature paper reporting this research please click here.
