Artist Profile

​Light, Perception & Quantum Inquiry

UK: Peta Jacobs is a Bristol-based mixed-media artist whose practice transforms the invisible forces of quantum physics into immersive, light-based artworks.
 
Following her PhD, Making Quantum Questions Material, she explores themes of duality, perception, entanglement, and interconnectedness through kinetic installations and optical works. Using scientific apparatus including prisms, dichroic materials, and half-silvered mirrors, Jacobs creates artworks that shift and evolve as viewers move around them.
 
Her practice bridges scientific inquiry and aesthetic experience, revealing a fluid reality where light, matter, and perception continuously intertwine.
