Celestial Navigation
In Celestial Navigation, a brief poem by the artist gives insight into what someone might be seeking, and finding, when they look to the stars. This is paired with a catalog of ancient and modern instruments used to navigate by the stars, historical images of these instruments, and a 19th century star chart on a background of a NASA photograph of the Milky Way.
The structure of hinged triangles can be held in the hand and read page by page like a traditional book, can be removed from its jacket and unfolded flat to reference historical astronomical charts or contemporary NASA composite photos, or can be folded into an infinite variety of sculptural shapes. Pigment inkjet prints, 6.75” x 5.75” x .75” closed, 17” x .5” x 27” open. Edition of 30, $725.
