About the work:
In this painting a figure falls calmly through an endless galaxy, gently cocooned by a cascading piece of fabric. An abstract figure comprised of colourful shapes emerges from the realistically painted heroine, almost as though she is her spirit self or an alter ego. The torso of this abstract figure is pinched in the centre and shaped like an hour glass.
This work is a meditation on time and being. The figure falling through a galaxy is about locating our time and place in the infinite and the passing, and embracing what is and embracing what may be. The abstract colourful figure emerging like a spirit or alter ego represents the vivid possibilities and pluralities of how we might express ourselves in the world and if we celebrated our multi-potentiality. Connection to living in the present, being at peace with the transitory, and an awareness of what is larger than ourselves are explored through this piece.
"And yes, every one of our body’s atoms is traceable to the big bang and to the thermonuclear furnaces within high-mass stars that exploded more than five billion years ago.
We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out – and we have only just begun."- Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry
