This is one of two large Kelvin paintings commissioned by the Quantum Theory Group at the University of Glasgow to celebrate 200 years since the Birth of Lord Kelvin. The works are based on Kelvin’s 1887 proposal for the geometric structure of space, known today as the “Kelvin Cell” - a doubly curved truncated octahedron which Kelvin believed could divide all of space with maximum efficiency and minimum surface area. Using 3d computer modelling, Gregor reconstructed thousands of interconnected Kelvin Cells to create a large-scale 3d lattice that was then painstakingly translated into the two painted compositions.
