Line Travels by Norma Jean Squires

My earlier work investigated what technology has discovered in microcosmic/macrocosmic exploration. Recent work has segued into more celebratory stances, a concession perhaps to a 12-year involvement with Spanish dance. Flamenco is a discipline that incorporates spins, spirals and swirls that are metaphorical for the motions of particles and galaxies. So my perceptions of the rhythms and energies of inner/outer space have been re-designed to offer a glimpse of of one of the multiple interconnections linking us to these other worlds.

The media used in these pieces include metallic and interference paints. This is not always apparent in photos because they rely on light sources to be seen. They are, however, effective because as with any reflective element, another dimension is brought into play.
NOTE: the first painting in this group is a sample of one of my cosmic paintings, a multi-paneled piece, a fantasy narrative (to be read like a comic strip - across and down) about an sequence of events that occurs when a meteor strikes some outer world (leading up to the explosion and its denouement). There are 16 panels, 22"x22" each. 94"x94" installed.
MEDIA: Acrylic, Micaceous iron oxiide and Flashe on canvas.
