“Even now; with a thousand little voyages notched in my belt, I still feel a memorial chill on casting off.”
- E.B. White
A few weeks ago, there was a flurry of announcements that scientists had found the largest black holes in the universe yet. The beautiful thing about announcements of that magnitude is that they make us all quiet for a moment, as we are reminded of just how tiny we are.
I made this newest Post-Marked collection to celebrate the vastness of the world around us and the universe beyond. This is the last collection for 2011, but I’m excited to let you know that I’m going to keep making books in this series in 2012. For now, the plan is to make a new collection on a different theme each month, so stay tuned for what’s to come!
I love how you’ve referenced the black holes - my husband is a physicist so we’re always aware of the melding of art and science in our house, too.
It’s everywhere, isn’t it? One doesn’t really work without the other. I find that going about my work quite often leads me right back to big questions that require so much more than just art or just science to understand. And that is why I love the world, right there. I wouldn’t want it to be simple to understand, because what’s the fun in that?
