This work ponders appearances in the natural world, the repetition of forms all around us. In these images, what is below manifests as what is above, what is finite and near becomes a reflection of what is distant and vast. The rigidity of our conception of the world is relaxed - bent - as the boundaries of ostensible opposites fold into one another.
Walking in the woods, following a system of small streams in early winter, these newly formed galaxies began to appear - tenuous fusions - across the surface of the water. Delicate compositions of ice and snow, just a few feet away and likely gone in a day or two, are star clusters and clouds of gas and dust in interstellar space, light years away.
