Photon as a sculptural meditation, seems to float upon the physical and spiritual power that rests at the heart of bronze geologic matter and light. Alluding to the newest vistas of physics in quantum mechanics, Snowden describes whorls of pierced vacuum space within the design of the sculpture that innately inhabits related graceful curvatures of light. Be it a fan or a wave-like particle of light, the sculpture celebrates circling spirals, energy spikes and curving ramparts of bronze. The figural element rises upon the sculptor’s advanced invention for bronze inner-wall construction that makes Photon’s particular conformation possible.

Indeed, Snowden has taken the sculptural evocation of Photon beyond the limits of physical structures for bronze, forming a kind of interpretive sweep that suggests multiple feelings and viewpoints as we come to contemplate original and unique symmetries within the sculpture. This is sculpture that seems to welcome imaginative viewpoints that science increasingly accepts as having the power to influence both space and matter. Cast as a glowing Fournier bronze, Photon is a kind of prism conduit for the evocation of light that positively infuses space wherever it is placed. As Dr. Harold Borsten observes, “The divided rays of Photon’s composition which express troughs of waves, seem to hold aloft its singular figural energy particle. This is sculpture that is a powerful construct based on a triad of elements that seem to generate light. Given the angle and placement of Photon’s elements, the sculpture is particularly sensitive to incoming transiting illumination. As light changes, the entire countenance of the sculpture seems to transform across a spectrum of noble human emotions according to our own personal viewpoint.”
