The Slice of the Universe Project

This collection of interactive sculptures is crafted with a harmonious blend of mixed media. Each artwork, resembles 3D printed slices of the universe that not only captivates the eye with its intricate details, but also invites tactile exploration and interaction. Therefore, this piece, is more than art…it is an experience.
Layers of Mixed Media
The foundation of each piece is a carefully textured canvas of wood or cloth. The canvas is enriched with sand, clay, concrete, rocks, and other earthen materials to replicate the cosmic terrain. Layers of resin provide a glossy protective finish. Thus, allowing viewers to feel the nuanced surfaces and contours of the abstract universe within their grasp. The addition of mica layers and other particles further enhances the tactile experience, reflecting light to simulate the vastness of distant stars and galaxies.
Interactive
The true marvel of “A Slice of the Universe A” lies in its interactivity. Each sculpture-like piece invites viewers to engage with its dynamic form, encouraging a hands-on exploration of the celestial details. The artist’s meticulous attention to texture and shape creates an interactive landscape that transcends the traditional boundaries between observer and artwork.
Glow
As the ambient light dims, the magic of the universe comes to life. The integrated phosphorescent pigments embedded in the artwork emit a soft, ethereal glow. The pieces transform into luminescent slices of the cosmos, thus, mirroring the celestial beauty captured by the Hubble Telescope. The glow in the dark feature adds a dynamic dimension, allowing viewers to witness the art in a state of flux between the earthly and the otherworldly.
