In a large majority of the work I have done, I have attempted to convey the idea and the feelings beyond emotion related to a further understanding of Dali's Nuclear Mysticism. Quite simply, this is to feel the space between your molecules, to know you are not solid, and that as humans we are relegated to what our senses make us believe. At an atomic scale, the space between our atoms is similar to that of the space between stars in galaxies. While these size realities are difficult to fathom, if you can imagine that the boundaries to our own bodies are at the skin and that skin is full of space, with the nothingness of space throughout that skin and our entire system, it is not so hard to imagine that we are more fluid than solid and that our mass flows through space as space flows through it. 

In this series of paintings, I have employed fabric to act as a transition state between our bodies and the air, or more specifically, clouds, which, because of the density of moisture in them, also appear to be solid, but better represent our own true nature.

All of these paintings have some aspect of them generated with AI, with a command similar to something like "Storm Clouds turning into fabulous drapery." Pieces of the compositions were generated utilizing the very latest in Computer Imagery. 

While AI images are highly controversial at the moment, I sincerely feel that artists should always embrace technology. Utilizing AI images to inspire artwork to me is the same as Leonardo using water stains on plaster walls, or Raphael using clouds. It is all the same process, and previous to AI, I used fractal generation to inspire my compositions (and still do). So now there is one more weapon in the artist's arsenal to compose the images of their desire.

In these works, I also wanted to convey that we are not good judges of scale based on our own size and senses, and that being part of the world and space as space itself flows through you resets the size at which you actually exist. So I have employed landscapes to enhance the sense of scale and stature in the world around us.
