Light and The Journey Through Space

Working with the topic “space”, this artwork alludes to the idea of outer space travel and science fiction projections of other intelligent life. I began by experimenting with the way light appears to travel through physical space as it is captured on film. Using a long shutter speed, patterns are created as the camera is moved over a single light source in a darkened room. This pattern acts as a record of the camera’s movement and some of the images that are produced seem to have an alien like appearance.
