A Continuum
Through A Continuum I imagine the creation of the universe as unfixed and cyclical. I use the manzanita tree as a representation of the physical body with its muscular core structure and blood-red bark. Much like humans, the tree grows from seed with a lifespan ranging between decades and a century. I wrap the branches in golden sewing thread as a representation of the energy that creates and destroys, the impracticality of preservation, and our connection to the unknown.
The creation of the universe is a story told through every culture, religion, and field of science. It is formed through gods that breathe life into every microorganism. It is a dream occurring in a dark and eternal ocean. It is an explosion that marks the beginning of fathomable time, all atoms eventually coalescing into bodies of hardened stardust.
