Provenance / HistoryThis painting addresses the now proven existence of what physicists call "non-locality" where particles which have enjoyed a bond, if separated by enormous distances (light years, for example) still enjoy an instantaneous relationship....perhaps outside space time.....Einstein called this phenomena "spooky"..... it has to do with memory embedded in physical processes.... consciousness becomes fundamental to the existence of the universe...... This painting is constructed with different types of overlapping space and was produced with the placement of paint itself functioning as the lead predictive factor for a progressive series of spatial markers and flow points. Pollock danced and gestured his paintings, My process uses gestural randomness coupled with precise, measured placement of shapes. Collaborations with neuroscientists, biologists and engineers have informed the structure of this work.
Story / Additional InfoThis particular piece is a part of a larger group of recent works which derive their intellectual impetus from my studies of an astounding recent discovery in physics.. The 2022 three-way split of the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for work that proved the strangely quantum nature of reality. The essence of the discovery is that two particles even when widely separated continue to communicate and mutually influence each other without an apparent means to do so. It is called entanglement and redefines how the universe functions on an elemental level. Everything is inter-dependent. It also has to do with the nature of observation and measurement, where all matter is in a continuous state of potential or "in a state of superposition" until it is observed. This places consciousness as fundamental to reality ....the basis of abstraction and the etymology of original vision.
The essential take away from this for Art is what is Physicists call "non-locality, referenced above.
