Original artwork by Cheryle LL Gannaway (Morghaine's Faeries)
Featured in the Night Vision VII Exhibition in Flagstaff, AZ, USA Spring 2019!
Back in the 1980s, Disneyland (Anaheim, California), had this fantastic ride: Inner Space. You were shrunk down to the size of an atom and then you have a marvelous ride through inner space (the human body). I remember being completely and utterly enraptured.
Hence, my life as a scientist.
Now, X years later (do not solve for X), I was inspired to create an artwork about dark matter. Dark matter is believed to comprise 95% of the universe. Matter is what you can touch and interact with- from the chair you're sitting in to the heat from your coffee cup. All matter.
Beyond that lies Dark Matter...and the unknown. There is still estimated to be about 5% of the universe that cannot be described. In this piece, the indescribable is represented by the grey dots, while the outer electron shells of two gold atoms collide. The gold color represents the known universe...the blackness if the dark matter. And to top things off, I've tried at representing supersymmetry with the proportions of the two gold arcs (the electron orbital shells).
So, geek out and enjoy!
