Points in Space- 16 Accretion Discs Painting

Square array of 16 separate panels. In this series of drawings I am using points and lines within a small circular format to explore a range of ideas regarding space and time, as well as making stubbornly handmade objects in a world dominated by digital media. I am arranging sets of the pieces to look like pixelated circles from a distance, thereby making points composed of points composed of points in a fractal-like hierarchy, and also expecting the pieces to be viewed online. An accretion disc is the cloud of matter that forms gravitationally around a star or a black hole. My drawings are built up, line by line, dot by dot, filling the area of a disc though an accretion process. My drawings build up in clusters during exhibitions. Mathematically, a point in space is infinitely small, with no volume, but a large object such as a star, as viewed from a great distance through a telescope appears to be a tiny point in the flat black plane of space. A single point in one vast field of view is just another vast field of view if you zoom in, and this makes me uncomfortable. My drawings act as two dimensional analogies to contemplate the complexity of space in a relatively comprehensible manner.
