THE PLANET SERIES For the first time in human history, the vast landscape of space has been brought home to us on Planet Earth. Through images from the Hubble Telescope, and new information from space, we can see for ourselves the incomparable splendor of fierce and silent worlds. I have been studying the planets around the Sun, and the immense and alien wilderness they present to us. They carry with them extremes in temperature and atmosphere impossible to imagine, and instantly hostile to our very lives. We are surrounded by a physical universe in which can be felt a chilling and unsettling indifference to us. Yet, the unfathomable, wild beauty and mystery of the planets calls us forward. In my imaginary ascent to the planets, I am thrown right back into my own mind. There is no one there for us, no one to meet. Who is there but us? My work is a way for me to go to the planets without the physical trip, and to meet myself when I get there. Paula Rice The Planet Series – A Presentation
