About this artwork
An illustration of Albert's flexible space time theory often looks like a disc, or net, thrown across a plane, with an object of dense gravity distorting that plane. This a dome presents similarities and I decided to finish it in galactic clouds of purple and deep space blue, with twenty four karat gold stars, strewn by virtue of an old Korean process called Kuem Boo: The iron is heated to about 350c and the gold is burnished into place.
The centre… is a hand carved sphere of approximately 40,000 year old swamp Kauri! It was given to me fifteen years ago, by an elder of the intentional community we lived on. When she told me of its age I must admit I thought she'd got it wrong. It turns out she was quite right. Probably felled by a Tsunami, buried in a bog for all the years of modern humanity, waiting for me to help its chatoyance shine.
