Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In my drawing, we see Cecilia looking through the telescope in the olden days. She will discover the truth about the stars, and our sun. Above Cecilia is a spectroscope; an object with the power of allowing you to see the different colors in a light source. It is based on the interaction between light and matter…Artists make things that don’t exist, and scientists find what we don’t know."
