Constellations series
Constellations, a named pattern of stars, were first identified thousands of years ago by people in the middle east then passed onto the ancient Greeks, who added their legends and stories. These most commonly known stories are included with each painting. The painting series and my particular use of tied and strung thread were inspired by the billions of stars suspended in a web of chemistry and physics that are in a state of constant movement and change.
Volans
Latin translation: Flying Fish
A younger constellation named by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Kyser and Frederick de Houtman in the late 16th century.
