Exotic Forms of Dark Matter (series of 6), 2001       Intaglio
6 x 6 inches






Mostly 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.
