Notes

“Often in our profession, one becomes fixated on the details of narrow corridors, losing sight of the interconnectedness and poetry of the whole. Karel’s images distil these connections metaphorically, much like the physicist uses equations to unify phenomena in diverse environments and over vast ranges of scale. For example, it is remarkable that the same Newton’s law of gravitation, describing how it is we are held to the surface of a spinning earth, also provides a prescription for the assembly of large-scale cosmic structures of dark matter extending over a 100 million light years. Although artistic imagery can be much more complex and nuanced, Karel’s work often provides a similar unification between such diverse phenomena, bringing together ‘significant’ salts and dusts to express our view and connection to the cosmos.”
