I call these “multi-spectral paintings” because my goal is to connect science + art! The whole piece includes mid-infrared data from JWST, and the blue/purple squares with all the stars add in near-infrared light. I use geometric shapes (a checkerboard pattern here) like a window into different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

  1. Rad! What was the reason behind not continuing the checkerboard into the upper left?

  2. Fucking absolutely gorgeous!! Great job.

    I can draw a stick figure pretty well…..

    Seriously, that is awesome!!!

  3. Inspired!
    And one completely black square for the image acquired with a tachyon-o-scope.

  4. “Hey, that looks like that piece Steller Arts was working on.” Haha, it is you!

  5. Nice stuff!! Really well done. Pillars of Creation is one of my very favorite space things and I love it every time JWST or HST releases new pics of it but yours is just wonderful! Thank you.
