Inspired by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which revealed over a 100 billion galaxies, presenting the true vastness and immensity of the universe. The new ‘Explosion’ artworks – part of The Immensity of The Universe series – explore the Big Bang and the intriguing beauty born from destruction and chaos. The selected books all explore notions of creation expanding from fields of philosophy, through to physics. The artist hired a quarry in which the books were exploded using pyrotechnics, before being further chemically aged, and finally crystallised.
