THE UNIVERSE WE KNOW



This consists of 4 canvases, each measuring 20x24. I started with the sun on the left, and moved to Mercury, then Venus, Earth and Mars, complete with the moons each one has. All of the planets, and the sun contain collage material that pertains to them. For example, the sun has a tarot card with a sun on it. Earth has a picture of my house from google earth. I used a lot of layers to create a very tactile environment. This was done with collage, as well as modeling paste and paint. I did this as part of my TRANSFORMATION show at Georgia Perimeter College in October. Maybe someday I will go back and finish the entire universe as we know it - but I have to admit, I quit when I got to Jupiter, it is just SO BIG!!!!

I saw your tent at Lemonade Days at Brook Run Park yesterday and I can't get your universe pictures out of my head! Where can I go to purchase a canvas or print?
