The Roche Limit series serves as a visual analogy for the forces that shape our world. Drawing inspiration from scientific experiments and data that record phenomena that are unobservable to the human senses, this work suggests a contradictory space that is at the same time macro and micro; finite and infinite; accreting together and being torn apart.

Using the same force that holds us to this planet and keeps Earth in orbit around the sun, this work is generated by rolling an inked ball bearing on a sheet of paper and allowing gravity to move the ball by changing the elevation of the plane. By attempting to impose my will on an object that moves somewhat unpredictably, there becomes an aspect of chance in the drawing, which results in a visual record of counteraction and attempted control.
