Orbitals - Watercolor
These are all done on a stylized fiber pulp paper which was handmade in India. The title "Orbitals" refers to the essence of invisible force that creates the scaffolding for molecular structure and chemical interactions. Each particle within its field of essence, cannot be considered separate from its context, its relationships to other particles. And as we dive deeper into understanding the subatomic, we might infer that matter exists only by implication - each particle is made from a host of smaller particles' relationships, ad infinitum. The unseen orbitals are not just the functional structure of the universe. The truth of human experience lives in orbit of our crystalline thoughts and feelings.








































I made 51 of these. All are signed and numbered.
