Tara Cronin

Tara Cronin is an artist working in various mediums, focusing on photography, installation and book arts. She received her MFA from the ICP-Bard Program in New York. She received her BA in Writing at New School University. While Tara battled hospitalizations and mental illness during her undergraduate work, her healing process veered her toward combining photography, writing, and artmaking in response. Having exhibited throughout New York City and North America one of her recent shows was as a participant in the Madison Avenue Gallery Walk 2011, and this fall she was given her first museum Solo exhibition in September-November 2012 at the Museo De La Ciudad in Queretaro, Mexico. While artwork is her focus Tara also has experienced commercial success with a handful entrepreneurial projects including a small Tea Company with partner and scientist, Ed Chen. Their latest project is has stemmed for their patented invention that sequesters CO2 directly from the air and transforms it into useful compounds. Tara and Ed have a startup called TerraLeaf whose goal is to transform traditional skepticism of climate change through creating economically viable and useful materials from existing CO2 while also promoting the importance of Art and Science as being symbiotic. Tara documented the mathematical proof for the possibility of an electromagnetic impulse engine that uses no moving parts. This equation works in quantum mechanics and relativity. However, the surprising part about this is that the implications of this equation on basic physics is that gravity is electromagnetic. Someone forgot to differentiate a third derivative in the late 1800s using maxwell’s equations, and the next 100 years of physics has been an attempt to paper over this fundamental error, which uses High School physics that anyone can understand with some guidance. Tara and her partner have demonstrated a physical lab scale engine using the principals shown in this equation. The original back of the envelope calculations are presented for consideration for publication in your magazine under the Math/Geometry or the Sciences.
