Provenance / HistoryThis painting is one of the first of a new series of works in which the chief structural dictates are driven by visual concepts of origin stories. The work reflects upon the material coalescence of elementary particles joining other materials to emerge as formularies of larger, flexible states of matter. In this case, the reflection is about water. The series will start to be exhibited this fall. Like the Octopus meditations several paintings will become a part of this beautiful new series. 

Story / Additional InfoThere is much discussion in the collaborative Art/Science world about the early compromise of religion and faith as a result of empirical data and technological advancements. Yet, of late there is a return to the transcendent, an embrace of the Emersonian view of our place in the universe based on the recent discoveries of big Science. Trans-humanism, the arrival of Ray Kirzwell's "technological singularity", and the confirmation in recent Physics experiments of the "non-locality" of the universe all remind humanity of its connection to the whole...we are once again a part of a larger, collective, consciousness. Science is returning us to a stewardship position of nature and away from a dominion of exploitation. We have even created star fusion on a small scale. This work is an "Origin" story of water and the entire series will consider such thoughts.
