Galaxy Installation
background, concept

This installation explores the similie of the circle.

Circle:
galaxy, supernova remnant, sun, tree-ring, bloodcell, Australian aboriginee's Dreaming circle, ...
time - life - connection - eternity

In this installation I began to experiment with transparency, which later developed into the Galaxy Lightbox series. Not apparent in the images is the fact that the installation was lit from behind with a single light, forcing the light through materials of various opacy (anything from clear film to handmade paper). The centre piece was pierced to allow pinpoints of light to pass. The piercing itself was Braille script, spelling "We are stardust".
