Eclipse
A month prior to the opening of my exhibit at Baik Art titled 00, I made the trip north to witness the total solar eclipse from a remote spot on the Nebraska prairie. Prior to this excursion I hadn’t realized the wonderful correlation between the work I had done for the show and the experience of witnessing two celestial spheres merge.

Based on a dream in which I discovered a huge boomerang while wandering in the desert. Then, realizing its creator would be a giant, I spent the remainder of the dream cowering in the shrubs.
After creating numerous normal boomerangs as research, I am confident that this piece would fly.

The geometry of the spiral is numerically resolved in every direction (concentrically and radially) and completes a full cycle through the four suits, beginning in the center with the Ace of Spades and ending with the King of Hearts. The next card in the spiral would be the repeat of the Ace of Spades, thus launching a perpetual cycle through space and time.
