"Creatio ex Nihil"
On July 4, 2012 the physicists working at Cern Switzerland announced they had found evidence of the existence of the Higgs Boson.
It was an elementary particle proposed in the 1960's which if existed would complete the puzzle of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
The Cern Collection
July 4, 2012, I began a series of art works which I have collectively entitled "The Cern Collection". Time = Infinity. It is now permanently installed in the University of Washington, Karalis Retina Center, South Lake Union. It is pictured with the Cern Collection.
The Contemplorium
In 2014 a longtime patron and collector commissioned an entire room installation of paintings dealing with the History of the Universe
from the Big Bang to now with the point of view of Homo Sapiens, as an artist. It was entitled "The Contemplorium".
The Elementary particles
About 13.8 billion years ago, our universe began. That moment, is known as The Big Bang. The Universe experienced a sudden burst of rapid expansion an instant after the Big Bang blowing up from an infinitesimally small speck to one spanning a quarter of a billion light-years in a mere fraction of a second. In that fraction of a second, the universe was extremely hot and dense. As the universe cooled, conditions became just right to give rise to the building blocks of matter – the quarks and electrons of which we are all made. A few millionths of a second later, quarks aggregated to produce protons and neutrons. Within minutes, these protons and neutrons combined into nuclei. They represent the building blocks from which all else is made. I have IMAGINED what those particles look like.
