About The Artwork

Each work in the Myths of Creation series is a record of a unique event, an instant of time, forever frozen. The series celebrates the wondrous, almost magical cosmological discoveries resulting from images captured by NASA’s Hubble Telescope and their implications on human civilization and our deep desire for storytelling and mythmaking. Mythology in human culture often serves to help us define our place in the world; the exponential growth of our cosmic explorations and discoveries offers ground for a new mythology for the modern world. Hubble brought us stunning images that are in fact records of the chronology of our universe, each of some ancient, cataclysmic event such as supernovae, which, despite having occurred eons ago, still possess impact and immediacy. Wanting to capture that feeling I developed a unique, quasi-random process in which each work is made by exploding various materials onto a prepared surface. The resulting explosion becomes the work—each piece is a record of the very instant of its creation. The titles reflect this as they bare the date and time of the event. The works are fixed in cast resin, which adds a stunning visual dimension, and enhances the sense of each work a as frozen moment in time, a record of a specific and spectacular event.

Steve Wanna is a multi-disciplinary sound and visual artist whose work includes music, sound design for dance collaborations, sculpture, installation, photography, and works for mixed media. Born and raised in Lebanon, he immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of 15, receiving a doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Maryland in 2004. His chief research and creative interest is the phenomenon of emergence. His works often incorporate electronics and interactive software to create pieces that exist in a state of becoming rather than being. In contexts both visual and sonic, the artist often relinquishes total control to become a contributing agent in a larger ecosystem that gives rise to the work. His compositions have received national and international performances and his artwork has been presented in galleries and venues across the United States. He has been teaching Sound Recording and Music Technology at the college level for the past decade.
