Tin-can Firmament
Tin-can Firmament, is a series of months-long exposure pinhole photographs of the sky presented - in an appropriation of the language of a classic photographic expedition - as a series of semi-fictional astronomical observations. The work makes a play on the problems of indexicality and the position as both art and science that the photographic medium has held since its inception. The environment plays a large hand in the creation of the photographs as the pinhole camera tins fill with water and rust, lifting the emulsion in places, causing the pock-marks, swirls and strange refractions of light in the final works that are redolent of, and come to represent the celestial bodies.
