Touching the Edges of Winter, Deep Saffron

The Reconstruction and Restoration Spheres Projects predict catastrophic consequences during this Anthropocene Epoch resulting in drastic changes in our planet's climate, ecosystems, and mass extinctions. I observe the momentum as a continuum of the first grand explosive energy—expanding, rotating, intersecting. The Projects manifest the beginnings of an explosive time and future while embracing the dream vision of an embellished and renewed outcome. The desolate, gray aftermath of raging fires, extreme weather, and catastrophic pandemic events on earth are not envisioned but demonstrate the tumultuous splendor of flowers, insects, birds, and all existence—blended and redistributed. Reconstruction and Restoration Spheres proliferate a vision of events much like the moment of cosmic inflation, as space expands on a flat plane, where spheres expand and accelerate energy, rotating, spiking three-dimensional surfaces. Hopeful a portal will open, I observe the momentum as remnants of the first grand explosive energy—expanding, rotating, intersecting.
