This work pays homage to a dear friend in Mississippi, who is both a professional astronomer and a visual artist who paints astronomical wonders. As part of an ongoing series of paintings depicting nostalgic metal yard chairs, I juxtapose the chairs with objects imbued with personal meaning, or in settings that suggest a backstory. My intention is for the narrative aspect of the work to be merely implied (thus provided by the viewer), while the visual components stand on their own and draw the viewer into the space portrayed. In this case, the chair and the orrery become a single, lone object; a solitary, metaphorical entity; an anthropomorphic presence, reaching out while isolated within the landscape.
