Pigment print and pen on canvas, 60in x 84.5in
“1st attempt at understanding” is from the artist’s ongoing process of hand drawing star charts from The Observer's Atlas of the Heavens (1898: William Peck). Using blue and red ball point pen, the act of transcribing is accompanied by listening to audio recordings discussing the history of physics. For the artist, the tactile process of making marks on paper while attempting to grasp fundamental concepts of the workings of the universe endures as a performative process.
