Like most artists, Emil is immersed in his mind
much of the time and has many questions and
ruminations for the universe. In a chapter from his
blog he writes,
“A cosmic convection of space and matter. I
thought of this dissipation and expansion after lying
on a dock over a glass calm lake. I spit and watched
it fall perfectly into the water, disappear, then pop
back up and expand in every direction, faster and
faster (the bubbles in the saliva created the perfect
marker for this expansion). My spit and the water
were different enough and the water dealt with it by
dissipating it. It was the easiest and most natural way
for them to exist together. I think matter is doing the
same thing. Faster and faster in every direction except
for where it builds up enough and it re-assimilates
into space.
“Maybe.” More works in progress in Emil’s New York studio.

granite in Soobong Park,

gold overglaze called
