- Astronomical exploration is a way to map our scale, position and place in the universe. 'Atmosphere Study (May 7)' is a cameraless photographic print made by laying a telescopic lens from a decommissioned telescope onto the light-sensitive surface of photographic paper, exposed by the light of the sun. The lens, part of a historical observatory site in NSW, was adapted from remnant glass from WW2 military surplus. This glass was then given a new life in a hand-made telescope to see beyond the threshold of the earth to the planets and stars. Dismantled, the slab of glass has now been used in my work and resembles the celestial bodies that it used to draw focus upon. As if somehow, what this lens has seen, is imprinted within it. A glimpse of the unreachable universe, anchored through light, into an image. This work continues my ongoing investigation into the limits of photography and its use to see the unseen, to broach distance, explore the unknown, and to materialise the invisible. Mostly working without a camera, my work incorporates the role of chance whilst recording the passage of time and the influence of the atmosphere onto light sensitive surfaces.
