Red Star/5 Seconds to Zero

Beginning in the 1980s, Walton’s preoccupation with perspective
merged with psycho-spiritual meditations on the cosmos, as
expressed in paintings with astronomical themes. The rectangles
and dots in Red Star symbolize celestial bodies. For years, Walton
kept Red Star on an easel for contemplation. In 1998, he wrote that
a star may seem “stable, or unmoving, in a set frame of space. But
if you see Red Star as I do now, it will be gone in a moment for it is
ablaze in brief ‘time’. Black space will remain.”
