Zac Henderson is a semi-nomadic photographic artist currently based in Auburn, Alabama.His love of science settled on magnetism, calling his photo series “Dark Matter.”To create his “sculptures,” Henderson suspends ceramic magnets on fishing line then exposes them to iron fillings.The iron takes shape based on the surrounding magnetic field, and can also be manipulated by hand to alter the sculpture.By exposing iron filings to an invisible magnetic field, the work imagines dark matter particles and their interactions with normal matter through gravity, as seen from a higher dimension, or bulk, in which both are visible.The images were made in his home studio, and since each sculpture is about eight inches tall, the images require focus stacking of as many as 30 to 40 images.The resulting forms are dynamic, abstract sculptures that celebrate the wonders of the known and unknowable forms of nature.

I admit I had to go to several sources to find out how the artist made such incredible structures. I never knew magnetism could be so amazing!
