Stellar Winds flow from the upper atmosphere of a star, driven by waves of superbubbles and particles. Our universe is but one in a massive ocean of universes called the multiverses. The celestial beings in this story are those who exist in cosmic space, other versions of our parallel selves or duplicates in other worlds. The characters tell stories of the universe beyond what we know… dimensions in which the viewer completes the narrative of time, matter and communication contained within the cosmos.
Mural Artist: Kerry Bergan
My art is an interpretation of social, historical and cultural arts. In my work, I deconstruct iconic images and interpret them by building on symbolic messages. Having engaged in subjects as diverse as the Mexican Revolution, traditional Spanish Colonial arts, Pop Culture and Graphic Novel stories, I reproduce familiar visual signs and some derived from ancient motifs, arranging them into conceptually layered pieces. Experienced as a graphic designer and illustrator, I paint contemporary imaged and collaborate in an “URBAN FUSION” local arts genre. As a muralist, my themes are historical and contemporary; my intention is to bring awareness to environmental components and intertwine them with the culture, tradition and vitality of the community. I mentor youth mural painng, and teach multicultural and fine arts workshops to children and adults in public and private schools, art centers and museums. I began teaching in 2000, by bringing my own art after school to the community in order to support arts education. I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of children and families from many diverse cultures through out New Mexico.
