The Great Story

Final piece for LS ONE Creative Response.
Title: The Great Story

It was inspired by the Meso Americans Myth of origin. I started searching up other cultures Myths of Origin and stumbled upon "The Great Story" which basically is Evolutionary Theory.

The first piece of the triptych represents the Big Bang Theory. The silk ball has been rumpled and sewn by hand. It stands on its own as does our universe.
The second piece represent the impressions of the Endiccara Fauna Fossils found in Australia, which are the predecessors of all vertebras on Earth. The impressions are hand stitched on satin.
The third is the Evolution of Man. The illustrations were printed on silk and mounted on foam core. I could talk more about this piece but I'll leave it at that....

Great sand animation video

Found this vid on You Tube... Love it!  I've thought about trying to do a short film with clay....Maybe a future project.  
Enjoy!
