Sometimes physics fascinates just because of its aesthetics. It could be the artistic appeal of an experimental image, a beautiful object used in doing physics, a pleasing curve that relates parameters. The authors of this article see possibilities for art in the artefacts of physics - in bits of lab equipment, experimental results, and theoretical models. One is a scientist with a passion for art, the other an artist with a passion for science. Collaboratively they are making original works of art which may be worn as jewellery, or as enjoyed as sculpture, by re-purposing physics artefacts.
