Original artwork description:

The first of the Dream Scene Illustrations, which play with ideas of quantum theory, pre-raphelite imagery and conservation themes.

Have we tied the natural world to our fate; dragging it in to a 6th extinction
period?

Is all our technological progression simply taking us into an even more unstable,
unpredictable future?

Is this universe truly living as a neighbour to others-bridged with black holes?

Does the act of observation change the observed object-does this need to watch ,
to see curse us, like Lady Shallot in her tapestry filled tower?

A illustration to aid contemplation of such ideas. Further illustrations on these themes to follow soon.

Materials used:

Winsor and Newton's designer gouache, Indian Ink, Watercolour paper
