Photos & drawings

The photographs are portraits of women. Each woman is a princess from that constellation (Ie. Cygnus, Aquarius, Ara). For each photograph I will make a line drawing based on the form of the constellation, and then overlay this drawing on the final work (printed photograph with drawing on top). Photographs of children are imaginary constellations using part of their name (Ie. AOmi, ko14, Ir77). Each child is a prince or princess from that constellation. Children are asked to draw their constellation. I will use the drawing as part of the final work.

Lights

The lights are wood boxes (made for ceramics). Each light has holes in the pattern of a constellation. We are able to see stars inside our homes, at night. The chandelier is a central light in the exhibition that illuminates the gallery space with rays of light.

Music boxes

The music boxes are automated with the use of robotics and play the notes in the shape of a constellation (from different angles). The sound of the notes is the twinkling stars in the sky.
