Split Star 6 1/2 is a continuation of an ongoing starburst series where the star is a symbol for the beauty in the unknown ringing eternally in the ether.
These paintings are layered and busy, often connecting to a counterpart canvas in a diptych. The two canvases touch in the middle of the image, the star reflecting itself from one canvas to the next continuing itself onward forever.
