Articulation: Velatura di Spazio, topology, and the Tree of Life

This body of work exists as a set of twins, one of which is the painted velaturas, the thin veils of color developed during the Renaissance that became the utmost technology of storytelling of the day which led to questioning "gods" and the rise of humanism through the (pre) hyper-realistic representation of the human figure and clothing-- which I employ on the nebulae and galaxies as the outer anatomy of consciousness with dry pigments and acrylic gel mediums.  

Alongside the above-mentioned reconfiguration of a traditional painting method in a contemporary context is a far more nerdy side and is a conjecture designed from a research-based practice questioning the dimensionality of singularities.  This other half Imagines the events of black holes as stretched timelines seen from outside spacetime.  They appear connected to the Alpha point or act of creation and are similar to a seed becoming the iconic tree of life symbol.  It is also important to note that the galaxies most likely all have black holes at their centers so the matter and energy of the universe would also exist on thin veils of spacetime like leaves or flowers blooming from the tree of life.  This brings these two ways of seeing full circle.  Both inside and outside of the physical world are portrayed in art.
