This piece is influenced by underwater scenes of bubbles and ripples, and outer space scenes of planets and stars with rings or without, abstracted in form and color to form a fusion between the two. I find the great expanse and unexplored nature of both the deep ocean and outer space to be interesting parallels, and combine these two expanses into one, while offering up the opportunity to explore what it means to the viewer, and which of these two realities of the piece the viewer is more drawn to. I start out with a loose composition and let the forms begin to take form and shape naturally, adding and removing elements freely as I go, as water moves and planets are born and die out in the natural world.
