what's it all about?

LustrousChemistry is elusive. it is nothing and yet it is all. a ghost.
not a ghost of a man, but the shade of a feeling or a phantom of an idea.

it is the artistic output of Paul Hearn which takes on many guises and is often splintered into unrecognizable fragments. in an attempt to make sense of his work paul has created the floating world of LustrousChemistry. here all the elements of his craft align themselves to form a whole with a greater sum than the parts.

not wishing to limit himself to one medium Paul's work draws on photography and digital sources but is also tempered by science, music, mathematics and literature. it is an alchemical laboratory amidst an electronic age that uses the artistic process as an investigation into the nature of the world we live through.

like a star in the night sky, its full brightness is best appreciated from the corner of one's eye.
