100+ personal artistic images created directly from the radio waves, "cosmic microwave background radiation" or CMB, of the Big Bang.
These Big Bang signals are the echo or afterglow of the single event that created the universe, our galaxy, our solar system, the planet Earth and ourselves. This online exhibit seeks to help bridge the gap between art and science.

SUPER STRINGS
NOTE: I wrote this poem in 1969 when I knew nothing about superstring theory, but had an advanced layman's knowledge of astronomy, physics and such stuff.
THE GENTLE WIND THAT BLOWS THROUGH ATOMS
the gentle wind
that blows through atoms
that curls and lies quiet
waits for a mind
to focus it
like burning sunlight
and penetrate
the weave of space
I have divided the exhibit into sections. In the beginning are overall patterns which progress gradually to greater and greater enlargements. In the next section I played with embossing to see if this technique would reveal structure in a different way which it often did. Last I included a number of ordered sequences where you can travel through these worlds frame by frame in your cyber space ship. The sequences go from large overall views to an extreme blowup of a tiny portion.
