Made of Stardust

Black gesso and acrylic on book illustrations from the late 1800's

Made of stardust is a reference to humans being made up of 40% stardust atoms
according to nuclear physicists, or 93% of the mass in our body being stardust.

Darkness, like that found in space or the sea, entice us with the mysteries they conceal.
Fantasies are imagined and ideas begin to percolate. Where normal is abandoned, the
unrestricted imagination is waking. Our mind is lured into understanding that anything can be.

Callie creates conversations with the known and searches for the possibilities in the unknown.
Flirting with the familiar she plays with what can only be imagined. Each dot, like stardust,
represents energy pulsating to form an ever expanding narrative.
