The Simpson studio has multiple furnaces that require frequent monitoring, so Josh has spent countless hours in the dark of night walking from his house to the hotshop.
At those odd hours, he is rewarded by the most amazing views, sometimes including the Aurora Borealis, the Milky Way, constellations, satellites, and even, for six months in 1990-91, the International Space Station passing overhead carrying his wife, Cady.
Josh is fascinated by the night sky and the astrophysics that create what we can see - and what we can't see - in the Universe.
With Spacetime vases (and also with Spacetime Disks), Josh is exploring the idea of how gravitational forces warp the space-time continuum of the Universe.
