Of Heaven and Earth
These photographs in this series are long exposures of altered landscapes. Altered elements in the landscape interact with movements of heavenly bodies in the pictures.
The work stems from gap between the knowledge of the vastness of time and space and the unshakable notion that the tiny acts we engage in each day matter. It comes from our notions of belonging to the land and the land belonging to us, from the allure of the single point perspective photography gives us. It is about the importance of a few hours in a very specific place, alongside the importance of the eternal and unending scale of time and space itself. It’s about mortality.
