Title of piece: ORRERY

Inspired by Kepler's Orrery and the corresponding videos by Daniel Fabrycky. 
"NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered more than 1,000 confirmed planets orbiting distant stars. Planets with known sizes and orbits are shown below, including Kepler 452b, a planet in the habitable zone of its star."

There are several artistic variations, each showing 227 solar systems. Some are ordered, some chaotic, some colour, some monochrome. They also tie in with the Alters and Veil work, but more on a cosmic scale. 

The more chaotic examples have been created by simply enlarging some of the solar systems, which results in visuals resembling rain/ripples in water. Again tying with Alters, in that ripples create interference which influences and changes the dynamic of the overall system.

This work is part of the Geometry series, using simple shapes and gradients to represent ideas, forms and philosophies.
