COSMIC ROCKFISH
To navigate the seas they helped create, stars, galaxies, nebulae... the night sky reflected on the sea, took the shape that made the most sense and swam into the depths as the China rockfish. This "cosmic rockfish" is a visual testament to our cosmic origins.
BLUE NEUTRON
When created in the very early universe, the free neutron revealed the blueprint for all creation to follow.
​
Neutral (as its name suggests) and freewheeling, but with a little more mass than it could carry on its own, the free neutron, after about fifteen minutes of throwing its weight around, found itself "decaying" into a proton and an electron; gone... but not really. For when two protons collided hard enough and just so, which in the very excitable young universe they were bound to do, one of them got the positivity knocked out of it and became neutral... a neutron anew. Stuck to its new, positive proton partner by strong force glue, the neutron remained stable. Then the pair similarly collided with and stuck to other pairs, creating the atomic nuclei of every element known in our universe.
​
​For an enlightened reason (as yet eluding me) I chose it to be blue. Perhaps I'm too heavily influenced by the word blueprint.
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Showing creation in the creation that is the China rockfish was pretty darn... creative.
And... if the shape of things to come in our universe was ever probabilistic, from its creation, the blueprint that is the free neutron brought an awe inspiring halt to that, and continues to do so to this day. This absolutely subsumes uncanny. Just saying.
For me, pairing the expression of creation that is the China rockfish with all the parameters for creation embedded in the neutron, is the essence and intent of truly interpretive art.
