An Inner Astronomy: Artist Statement
I can spend hours staring into the sky, mesmerized by the expansiveness of the sky, pondering on our place in the universe. The vastness of space holds an ultimate touchstone for me: the sky is a window to the infinite. Through time, humankind has sought to explain and fathom the mystery of our being: in these bodies, on this planet, in this galaxy through mathematics and science and religion. My studies in archeo-astronomy - the exploration of how varied cultures have explained the mysteries of the stars and sky through mapping, symbols and myth - as well as my own dreaming and explorations have informed “An Inner Astronomy”.
