Ripple-Marked Radiance (after Hertha Ayrton) was produced in Cambridge and refers to the research notebooks of Hertha Ayrton, one of the first women to study at Girton College.

At its centre is an electric arc; below it, patterns of rippled sand. The title of the work is borrowed from Ayrton’s writings that read: ‘A single ripple, existing alone, in otherwise smooth sand, initiates a ripple on either side of it, that each of these ripples produces another on its farther side – these in turn originate on their farther sides, and so on, till the whole sand is ripple-marked.’
