Likewise,the artists involved also used different art forms. For example,some  work with paint, glass,fiber,and multimedia. Most importantly,Tauna Coulson, the curator  worked hard to make sure everything comes together.

Furthermore,I would like to share the inspirations that I created for this upcoming show. Benjamin Lehmann is a theoritical physicist. Likewise,the collider event displays that he showed me on his computer looked eerily like fiber,my chosen medium. After that I made several art quilts based on those photos. In the same vein,subatomic particles are smashed together in the atom smasher at Stanford Linear Accelerator or CERN in Switzerland.https://annbaldwinmayartquilts.com/2018/06/from-guarding-chalk-to-black-holes/
Finally,when this happens, they split apart in predictable patterns and predictable colors. Moreove these were my inspirations.
