Omega Centauri

Completed 2010

Original Size: 24" x 24"

Omega Centauri was inspired by looking at images from the Hubble Telescope.  The sheer beauty and majesty of these images is breathtaking to me.  When I saw an image called Omega Centauri, I saw it as a piece of modern art and knew I had to re-create it as one.  According to the image description from the book "The Hand of God", Omega Centauri is a giant globular star cluster which is well known by observers of the southern sky.  It is relatively close (17,000 light years away) and immense (150 light years across) and contains more than one million stars.  I don't think I got quite one million dots on this piece of art, but it felt like it when I was making it.  There are many thousands of tiny dots in many different shades and colors and multiple layers of glazing that make up this piece.  In the end it looks like a soft glowing red/orange light that conveys great depth and pulls the gaze into the center.  This would look great in a modern home or office.
