Night creatures : a sculptural and graphic representation of celestial and nocturnal phenomena

Through my studio practice I intend to research the graphic and three dimensional representational modelling of celestial phenomena: stars, planets, comets, sun, wind, rain, lightning and thunder. Further, I will investigate and test a range of associated images and ideas including Greek and Roman mythology and astronomy; celestial maps and navigation across -a variety of cultures and times. I will explore the space between abstraction (points of light in space) and figuration (the centaur in the stars).
