Elements 4 series: Fire, Earth, Air, Spirit, Water
2017, series of five triptychs; digital print with silkscreen on panel, 33"x30"; unique

Available as a 5-panel set, or as individual panels. It is also available as digital prints in a 24" x 24" size, edition of 10

A series of five digital prints on wood panels  with silkscreen, oil and acrylic paint, examining the origins of western science through the classical elements of Fire, Earth, Spirit, Air and Water.

I explore the early Greeks’ role as the originators of logic, reason and their earliest attempts to classify all matter using the scientific method.  I include the five “Platonic Solids”: the shapes and colors that Plato believed represent the physical manifestation of all natural things.

The lower right images hold my interpretation of these elements: from Wordsworth’s romantic poetry, to the General Theory of Relativity, to the Higgs Boson “God Particle,” to a vision beyond this curtain. Dimensions beyond ours--seen with Psilocybin, and the Flow of life: Humor, Lust, Food and Death.
