About the ART

What is a Cosmic Window?

Cosmic Windows are original Artistic representations of deep space nebulae, lovingly re-imagined and recreated to produce a delightful luminous effect permanently encapsulated within a clear resin window.

Just as the stars are absent in the daytime, so too in daylight a Cosmic Window has the appearance of an ordinary cloudy blue sky. However, it is in the dark of night when the real stars come out that a Cosmic Window can be magically transformed into a stunning vision of luminous deep-space nebulae.

A Cosmic Window can be displayed from several angles with each view-point offering a unique take on the nebulae contained. Using his own artistic techniques, the artist has created a subtle 3D / depth-effect to enhance the visual effect.  (see ‘How it works’ tab)

Each Cosmic Window takes the Artist several days to create and no two are ever the same.

The Artist says he may from time-time, may introduce new views and concepts into the series, so there may be some individual pieces which may differ from the examples shown.

Cosmic Inspiration

For many years the Hubble Telescope and more recently the James WEBB Telescope, have delivered breathtaking glimpses of the of mysterious deep-space nebulae many thousands of light years distant. Vast clouds of cosmic gases produce spectacular glowing nebulae spanning many light years across; the visible echos of supernova explosions from long, long ago.

It is within these vast stellar nurseries that countless new stars and solar systems will eventually form, and from the very atoms forged at the cores of stars, now long dead.

Billions of years ago here in our little corner of the Galaxy, the explosive demise of ancient, massive stars eventually led to the birth of our own star; the Sun, our beautiful Planet Earth and our entire Solar System.

This mean that ALL the atoms contained within a Cosmic Window, were actually created billions of years ago in the cores of stars now long dead.  Incredible right?

So, as you turn out the lights and gaze into your Cosmic window, remember,  you really are looking at billions of years of cosmic evolution. How cool is that?
