Samples of Matter and Energy.
Mixed water media on gessoed paper board. 2005. 24"h x 20"w.

This mixed media painting is an example of science inspiring art. Fascinated by both theoretical physics and astrophysics, Jasinski believes that by trying to understand the complexities and interrelationship of these two disciplines, she is able to enter into a frame of mind that better allows her to work with abstract compositions. It sets her free and forces her to reach for what is beyond the obvious.
