Black Holes and Revelations

Named after a song by the band Muse, this title aptly describes the inspiration for this piece. Looking up into the night sky, all we can see are points of light on a black backdrop. But what if we could see the dark matter that takes on 85% of the universe's space? Would there be millions of teeny tiny black holes? Would there be other dimensions and parallel universes to discover within these black holes? One day it truly will be a revelation to discover just what the universe is made up of....

Please zoom in on the photographs for this piece, as the details are absolutely minuscule. A lot of hours went into this one. I have also used alcohol ink on yupo to create the world within world mixed media pieces that have been layered onto high quality, archival pastel board. The piece is sealed with Krylon Preserve It UV Spray to protect it for years to come.

It is recommended that this artwork be framed before display.

In Situ photographs are not to scale, but pretty darn close.
