I have been turning some ideas over in my head about how to "bring" the stars to a city environment. I began to think about using solar lamps which I could place in scrub land around the city. Which I still might consider because the mental image I have of that is very promising, plus it would coincide with the stars only coming out at night. However I want to try and create the work for day time use so more people could view it.
By a bit of luck I had a spark of thought when I went out on the 12th October. It was a lovely sunny day. I was out looking for places to consider place my work in the future, when I noticed something interesting. I noticed these shadowy light markings on the floor, I instantly started snapping away. One particular instance really took my fancy it was a multitude of light reflections on a large blank wall. Straight away I had the basis for somework could I use mirrors or a reflective surface to reflect onto the sides of buildings. Creating the constellations with light from our sun which is in turn a star itself. I found this thought to be quite simple yet quite loaded; also there is a slight sense of humour there. Recreating these wonderful and vast constellations that have existed for billions of years and yet I can create them with simple mirrors.
Anyhow here are a few of those snaps, I shall up more when i get the chance.
