The Nature of Things

The Nature of Things  (A Goldilocks Universe)
2016
Encaustic and oil stick on board, 200x600mm

This work continues the theme of the 'Goldilocks' Universe; how the deep forces that shape the universe are just right to have resulted in at least one planet where life could evolve. If these forces were to change in the least way life as we know it would disappear.
The landscape element is based on a view of Ben Ohau across the lake.
The catenary was inspired by Jasper John's works from the 1990s.
The work is currently in the Green Party Auction.
