Description
Illumination as in iconography. A tacit connection to the esoteric nature of images tied to lofty aspirations or ideals. The radio telescopes were taken from an image of a field of dishes aimed into space. They were employed to capture languages of sound as aberrations of binary sequence. The nature of metallic acrylic paint provides a sheen when dry that gives a luminescent quality to the image. The telescopes float like planets without evidence of connection or purpose. Individually, they seem trapped without reference to origin. As a composition, they appear to work in unison towards a singular mission. They appear in various stages of definition, as if to convey an order of execution in tense. As they expire, do they become a part of the fabric of the continuum, embedded as relics or absorbed as energy that is changing form? Can they be metaphors for the human spirit?
