ACCORDING TO ASTROPHYSICISTS, the universe is isotropic—meaning that no matter which way you view the universe, it's in perfect balance. This is certainly a spectacular example of God's law of harmony, divine Science, in perpetual motion. In her book Unity of Good Mary Baker Eddy wrote, "This Science of God and man is the Holy Ghost, which reveals and sustains the unbroken and eternal harmony of both God and the universe" (p. 52).
I began to see the connection between the forces of the universe and the forces governing the interaction on a canvas.
When I began work on a nonrepresentational 9'-by-7' painting many years ago, astronomy was the furthest thing from my thought—and I had never heard the word isotropic. Yet I had an instinctive need to work on this painting in four directions so that I could balance all of the elements in it from every side, composing them into an impregnable whole from every viewing angle.
