'Objects of Quintessence' Series of Ink Drawings on Vellum 10x6"

Quintessence is borrowed from the ancient Greeks who used the term to describe a mysterious "fifth element", believed by the alchemists only to be found in the upper Fiery Heavens, -- in addition to air, earth, fire and water -- which held the moon and stars in place. Quintessence, some cosmologists say, is an exotic kind of energy field that pushes particles away from each other, overpowering gravity and the other fundamental forces.
