Artist’s Notes

The Creation represents the creation of the Universe, the first cosmic event. In science this event is often referred to as the “Big Bang”, identified by a single point in time where a super-compact and high energy “Cosmic Knot” exploded, creating the universe and expanding into infinity. This event is the merge point between science, it is the point where science can go no further. For me, it is also the logical point to recognize the hand of God, and to look at the questions that science cannot answer. Science has been very productive at telling us how things work, but it can never answer the questions of “why”. In this work I’ve used the principles of Sacred Geometry to portray this sacred act of creation.

Symbolism of the Knot

The Knot is the key element of the composition, it represents the combination of chaos and order. A curved line without specific form is given shape and structure by attaching it to the geometry of the hexagram. With this natural construction in mind, the knot becomes a perfect symbol to represent the creation, where un-organized matter and chaos are given order and beauty through the hand of the creator.
