Microcosm III - Acrylic on Cradled Masonite
Secret Worlds: The Universe Within is a slideshow created at Florida State University which moves through a series of images beginning 10 million light years from Earth and progressing to the microscopic and the subatomic universe, at intervals of the tenth power of magnitude. As you view this slideshow, you can control its speed. Once you arrive at the quark level you can reverse it and return to outer space.
There are other wonderful things to explore on this site, especially for artists who are interested in the amazing patterns of nature.
Aside from the incredibly inspiring visuals, this slideshow has an immediate meditative effect on me. It’s nice to see that there’s a screensaver available for download. I may decide to get it.
I hope you have great creative plans this week.

I just love this new series – for me it is powerful work. It’s the lines that are doing it for me I suspect. It’s a great new direction for you.
BTW it’s 2.2am here and I’m wide awake. Sigh. Think I’m worrying about MUm even though I don’t feel worried, if you know what I mean!

Cath, I do know what you mean, worrying when you don’t feel worried. I do hope she’s better soon. And I hope you get some rest.
I’m glad to hear you like these. The use of line has a different energy, don’t you think? Probably should explore that more.
