“Universe Before Big Bang” ©

Acrylic on Plexiglas, Relief, 36 x 36 x 2 inches, 1989.



This painting as a model entitled, Universe Before Big Bang, 1989, is intended to reconstruct the universe prior to the Big Bang. My concept in 1989 was to take a snapshot of the universe encapsulated in a non-Euclidean square. Thus, matter is then present before the Big Bang. Origins of the cosmos are found in supersymmetries and further understanding of concepts for their elucidation.

"As an artist and geometer 'infinity' has taken an important place in my life in terms of abstraction. At the age of five I had frequent dreams of infinite distances in space between spheres. This was quite an overwhelming experience for me, and when at the age of seven I informed my mother of these ongoing dreams of infinity, she stated 'no one has dreams of infinity – silly'. While working on my M.F.A. at The City College, Professor Jacob Rothenberg, Chairman of the Dept. of Fine Arts, after I discussed my childhood dreams of infinity stated that 'Buddha dreamt of infinity'. My art combines both ancient and modern mathematical foundations ranging from Pythagoras to Einstein."
