LEBBEUS WOODS
EINSTEIN TOMB, 1980
“The tomb is a vessel journeying outward on a beam of light emitted from earth, following an immense and subtle arc through the stars. For eons it will inhabit the dominions of space, until in a distant time it must return to the world of its beginning. Thus a cycle the epicycle of Space and Time will close. On that remotest day the dark corridors of the infinite will again become thresholds for departure, fading shores on the dark gulf of eternity.
The form of the tomb has always been known; it existed as a sign in ancient codices, on countless maps of exploration.”

Michael Peck (b.1977, Australia) - Untitled. Oil on Linen, 198 x 198cm (2011)
Using crashed World War II planes, as seen through the eyes of innocent children, the new body of work explores Michael’s relationship with his two grandfathers, who both served in World War II.
Both men passed away within months of each other in 2010, prompting Michael to contemplate how little he knew about their lives and consider our inherited experiences of conflict across generations.
