Artist Statement
Cosmic Figures is an immersive digital art installation designed to bring the viewer into the stars. Using projection technology, the night sky is brought to earth with depictions of familiar constellations. The series is a total of 29 different characters which can be spotted as they drift around the room, each meticulously designed and illustrated with an homage to their Greek origin stories.
Cosmic Figures allows for a close-up look at some of the world’s most well-known constellations. In these drawings, every detail, line, and color were picked based of historical telling of each constellation’s original story. As tales are passed on through generations and cultures, they become blurry as they branch from their origin. Cosmic Figures brings us back to the beginning with a goal to raise questions about the abstraction’s constellations may have experienced during the passing of time.
