The Spheres Really Have Their Music
Paintings & Drawings
2018 to present
‘The Spheres Really have their Music’ title is a hopeful declaration of faith in an Intelligent, Creative Design within the Universe. This series is a collection of drawings and paintings created by putting myself into a meditative state of mind while allowing the marks to become intuitive and automatic. The process then becomes a dance between chaos and order, the subconscious and conscious.
“Spheres of Influence” is a term I’ve adopted from the crew of Artemis II, inspired by their description of journeying to the far side of the moon. As they transitioned from the gravitational pull of one celestial body to another, they navigated realms invisible to the naked eye. From that vast distance, their perspective of Earth shifted to one of profound beauty and “Oneness”—the realization that we are all fellow crew members on this singular, spherical spaceship.
These paintings represent imagined realms inspired by both the cosmos and the microcosm. Whether peering through a telescope or a microscope, the viewer is drawn into a “gravitational understanding” that everything, regardless of scale, is ultimately One.
