Natural Wonder
‘In luminescence, some energy source kicks an electron of an atom out of its lowest energy “ground” state into a higher energy “excited” state; then the electron returns the energy in the form of light so it can fall back to its “ground” state.’ - Fluorescent Mineral Society.
Natural Wonder is a personal response to the feeling of wonder experienced whilst observing the phenomenon of natural fluorescence in minerals.

Information
Becky is an artist and illustrator based in York.
She combines a variety of processes to create her work; collage, print-making, stitch and drawing are used most frequently along with digital processes.
She recently completed an MA in Creative Practice at Leeds Arts University, where her practice was deeply influenced by research into ritual.
Visually her work is an eclectic mix of historic and contemporary visual culture, that explores the themes of ritual, play and wonder.
“I am interested in developing large scale interactive artworks that offer audiences a form of escapism or allow them agency over the work in some way.”
Becky worked as a lecturer in Art and Design and now uses her teaching experience to extend her practice by working with the public and community groups. She believes that art plays a vital role in people’s lives and that everyone should have the opportunity for creative expression.
