INCEPTION, Earth Show at Michael Kate, 60” x 48” x 1.5”, acrylic on canvas
Earth resides in the Milky Way galaxy along with 50 billion planets and 100 billion stars. And the Milky Way resides in the Universe where there are 400 billion galaxies. Observing our planet from outer space in 1968, Astronaut Bill Anders remarked: “The Earth isreally small.”
My painting shows Earth as raw energy during the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, as ‘early matter’ was transferring between matter and energy. I think this raw force of energy resides in our planet and in each of us as individuals. Although in the context of the Universe our Earth is small, our formation was very powerful and alive.
