Portal To The Stars is a door, presented as a circular field of white neon, diamond dust, ink and black-out paint. The artist's own text sets its cosmology: to understand the world around us, we need to understand the cosmos within us. There are 10 billion galaxies in the observable universe and 250 billion stars in the Milky Way; here we are, a tiny speck of dust rotating annually around a sun that itself orbits the galaxy. We are tiny, yet our tiny worlds are significant in our minds, and meditation, she writes, is the most powerful tool, the gateway from our world to the worlds beyond. The work's intellectual inheritance is double: ancient Greek astronomy and cosmology on one side, Einstein's theory of relativity on the other, the idea that time and space are not absolute, and that therefore there are many truths, many possibilities, many realities. The circular form makes the metaphor physical: a portal, a door to the stars, to the subconscious, to undiscovered worlds, to our fullest potential, representing inner and outer worlds and limitless possibility. The black-out paint darkens the painted field so the neon ring and the diamond dust's sparkle read against it like stars against a night sky, light emerging from a void the viewer is invited to step through. White neon, diamond dust, ink and black-out paint on circular canvas, in a circular black frame, framed diameter 132 cm. Signed and numbered from an edition of 3. £15,000.
