Artist Statement:
PAINTING AND PARTICLE PHYSICS
COLLIDE.
Aesthetics and theoretical
physics “hit it off” in my
"Colour-field Splash"
paintings. The effect is both
attractive and striking. It
uses canvas and paint but no
brush strokes. First several
coats of a single colour are
absorbed into the weave of the
canvas to produce a tranquil
base. The tranquility is then
disturbed by a splash of
paint. At some points the high
velocity of the paint causes
it to split symmetrically on
the canvas to produce a unique
and beautiful effect. It is
through this splitting of the
splash that the observer is
sucked into the multiple
dimensions of the cosmological
space beyond. The action takes
place on a manifold called the
Riemann sphere, a sphere so
large that the curved surface
becomes flat (like walking on
the surface of the Earth but
in effect at the edge of the
universe). The splashes of
paint are “Strings” and the
symmetric split is a
“Hyperfunction” where the
split is between the positive
and the negative, the yin and
the yang. Through the portal
of the split we can delve into
the furthest regions of space,
helped in our journey by
either “String” or “Twistor”
