The images in the series features a  number of materials, including consumables readily found in one's  pantry, generating enough power to light lamps and LED lights. The ongoing photo project, which began in 2010, was initially inspired  by the powerful simplicity of the potato battery. The science enthusiast  explains, "By inserting a galvanized nail into one side of a potato and  a copper wire in the other side a small electrical current is  generated. The zinc coating on the nail gives off electrons due to the  electrolyte environment within the potato. These electrons then travel  along the copper wire providing the electrical voltage to illuminate a  small light emitting diode. The utter simplicity of this electrical  phenomenon is endlessly fascinating for me."

My  hope is that these photographs function as micro utopias by suggesting  and illustrating the endless possibilities of alternative and  sustainable energy production." Charland tells us that he hopes to expand his project this summer by  making "little hydro electric generators and installing them in the  landscape." Until then, the photographer is showing a selection of his  works at Schneider Gallery in Chicago and has a solo show coming up at  Gallery Kayafas in Boston from May 17th through June 7th. </blockquote>
