The artist: 'The domed hemisphere when darkly reflected in the blackened glass forms a visual sphere which references the exterior panels or doors of the painting The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosh c.1480. The exterior panels of this painting depict in the monochrome green/grey grisaille technique, a glass orb or retort containing a flooded primordial landscape. This is thought to be either a depiction of the earth on the third day of creation or the emerging changed landscape after the great biblical flood; the flood story has been told by many cultures for millennia.'
