Many of my paintings invoke an energy dynamic that looks like it might be a place in the cosmic frontier that embodies that energy. Here I have flipped that a bit and we have what looks like a specific, if alien, landscape that is home to strange exotic things happening.

Ultima Thule  (pronounced thoo-lee) was a label used on ancient maps that indicated a distant unknown region. Beyond the extreme of travel and discovery, Ultima Thule is a distant place beyond the limits of our knowledge and perception.

(Also a Kuiper belt object and next target of NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft that visited Pluto in July 2015)
