I just care about doing beauty as well and as smart as I
can - …but I am also continually fascinated (and amused at
times) by the impulse and seemingly basic human need to understand the
origin and inner workings of grand things like the universe. I find
scientific examinations of the natural world filled with poetic
metaphor and analogy to common human experience. Mirrored in the
quantum makeup of the cosmos are nuances of human relationship and
perspective -- dark matter is believed to make up most of the universe
yet it can’t be seen and eludes scientists; it can only be
identified by its effect on other matter.
