METRIC EXPANSE
I love earth, planetary and space science, so a lot of my art work reflects that. I try to interlace the beauty of the vastness in scale and complexity of our natural systems along with the beauty of our science coming to know them in a certain way. Often I also aim to communicating scientific concepts in what I create, sometimes using them in training and talks.
I have always loved pictures of earth from space and seeing the northern lights from that vantage point.
Individual Piece: Measuring Chaos. I find it helpful to communicate uncertainty in hazard and scientific modelling with art - this painting shows that our gridlines are used to define the storm, but within those scientific frameworks is huge amounts of variation and complexity.
