As I was painting Celestial Separation,  it transformed from the image of a sad figure moving away from a joyful source of life, into a woman composed of the same matter from which she was separating. Each of us travel away from the wombs that carried us into our lives, away from the Big Bang that exploded our very energy and matter into being, and yet, we still carry our first ancestors within our DNA, and the first stars within our bones.
