Working Small, Thinking Big I

I am working on the last few pieces for my Fermilab residency and thinking about possible future projects. While I'm working away on these tasks, I'm also taking time in the studio to try out new ideas, new color combinations, new techniques I have not had time to explore. Here's one set. I'll be posting a few ideas over the next few months.  

Working small allows me to be fearless in composition and techniques. These are sketches:not finished pieces so there is less pressure to create finished, show-worthy work.

SciArt in America

"Standard Model: Discoveries"

Textiles, acrylic and DMC floss on linen

SciArt in America has  a lovely article about Fermilab's art program, the Art@CMS project showing there right now and a mention of my residency with Fermilab. It's a great publication with lots of exciting art work about science.

The show closes at Fermilab at the end of the month and will be flying out to both CERN and South Florida. I'll post specifics when they are available.

This video by Charles Lindsay is among one of the most beautiful marriages of art and science. He is the Artist in Residence for SETI... Those people looking for extra terrestrial life.

Flora Lichtman's new work

Nostacoida Limacola II from

Manufactured River

Flora Lichtman  is up to some really beautiful new animation. Flora and I actually have at least two things in common: A love of science and a fascination with the tiniest beings on the planet.

Neutrinos and Textiles

Every second, billions of solar neutrinos are flying through our bodies. Neutrinos are weekly interacting neutral particles and as part of my residency with Fermilab, I am learning more about these mysterious particles and making art about them.

I have three pieces planned out that use black organza and 18 miles of metallic embroidery floss. Stay tuned!

Particle Detectors Subatomic Bomb Squad

Dr. Don Lincoln explains how  bomb detection methods are similar to how physicists hunt for particles after proton collisions at the LHC. This film is really funny and educational. Very entertaining!
