Planet earth is surrounded by the most theatrical of backdrops—a magical display of infinitude in whose darkness the lights of dying stars reach us millions of light years from their original source. Such drama of exploding stars and gaseous infernos eventually fades and expires, finally morphing into something else, somewhere else.

Artists and philosophers alike have taken inspiration from the magnitude of the heavens and the esoteric nature of time and here in Exploding Stars Series we see some tiny threads of their influence in the intensity of colours, the layered darkened backgrounds and the evolving, shifting forms and shapes. The cosmos is an alluring, beckoning subject.
