COMMENTS
Here Wayne transports us light years away to the furnaces of the Universe. For most of their life, thermonuclear fusion causes stars to shine, releasing energy which radiates into outer space. At the end of a star's life cycle, its core becomes a remnant, a white dwarf, a neutron star, or, if it is sufficiently massive, a black hole. Wayne was “animated by the sciences when they offered something new, because new information alters how artists see. I’m more interested in what is going to happen than what has happened already… to see the future in the present."
