Stardust suspended in Acrylic Medium on Glass
1x3 in
2011

Using techniques developed by NASA I collected the 'stardust' from material that fell to earth from the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Every orbit brings the comet closer to the Earth. Swift Tuttle has been described as 'the single most dangerous object known
to humanity.' I made paintings made from material I collected on microscope slides. Each painting contains cosmic & terrestrial
material and is constantly evolving while in contact with Earth's air in a process of oxidization; giving the work both a life
and a kind of eventual death.
