The ARC

Here is the Random Globule of Elementary Particles in the ARC (Advisement Resource Center) in the Student Center at ETSU, amidst a sea of cubicles:

Random Globule of Elementary Particles

Random Globule of Elementary Particles, made up of the same circular lenticular prints You Can’t Be What You Were, is a roving installation/sculpture project that I have been working on over the past 8 months or so. It has moved around campus at ETSU and has remained in random spots for random amounts of time. Throughout the next couple of days I will be posting other pictures of different places where it has existed:

The Anatomy of Quantum Psychology

This is the Stalk of Falsity. An anatomical drawing of an organ of negativity in thought-space (ie. the Fifth Dimension). Some liberties have been taken with the drawing, allowing for some cross-section views especially in the Quantum Appendage. Below the illustration is the actual spread (pp. 892-93) in the 5th Edition of the Anatomy of Quantum Psychology in which my commissioned ink drawings actually appear. The author, Dr. Majumdar Abdullah-Al-Kafi paid me the specific honor of admitting that this is his favorite illustration in his 1,126 page treatise on Quantum Psychology — probably the greatest honor I have ever received!

Etching Process

This is an image of one of my copper plates in the initial stages of the etching process. Although I’m supposed to keep my personal thoughts aside (thanks Sue!), this is one instance where I think the plate looks a whole lot better than the actual completed print. The black stuff coating the copper plate is highly toxic asphaltum that I have begun to scratch into revealing the shiny copper beneath. The shiny copper parts that are exposed will eventually be the areas that get etched, thus allowing ink to seep into those areas and print (as seen in the finished print).
