From the Tide Pool to the Stars: Oil paintings

From the Tide Pool to the Stars: Series 4 




My most recent project has been a series of oil paintings bringing together ideas from the earlier series. 
They look also at concepts such as our place in the universe - that ‘we straddle the cosmos and the micro world’ – that we are intermediate in size between atoms and the sun and that our planet and everything in it, including us, are galactic fossils made from the debris of stars that exploded in the early universe.  The ‘Six Numbers’ make their appearance in most of these works as well.  There are eight works in this series.
