Star Dancers
Together with Californian artist
Daniel Oberti, I have had
a project with the title Star Dancers. This project
combines computer simulated orbits of stars in barred galaxies
with ceramic art! The background,
and an introduction, to the project is found in the
abstract
of the talk given during the conference
The Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena III
in Sicily on January the 4th 2001.
Star Dancers have been exhibited at a gallery in Palermo.
Above are the first two Star Dancers Platters in colour.
Above are some prototypes of Star Dancers platters, that are
as yet not painted and fired.
More Star Dancers!
Above are some of the Star Dancers from the Palermo exhibition.
