Cosmic began with a question about scale: what does it feel like to look at something that took a million years to form? The works in this series use oil paint’s own material weight — its opacity, its capacity to pool and resist — to build surfaces that suggest geological pressure rather than illustrate it.

The images refuse a single reading. Seen from a distance, they could be aerial surveys or astronomical photographs. Close up, they become almost geological — cross-sections, cores, strata. That oscillation between the intimate and the vast is the territory the series occupies.

Twenty-six collages were made over eighteen months. The series remains open.
