SHINE ON - DEITIES, SACRED ANIMALS, and MORAL TALES 
2009

"Shine On - Deities, Sacred Animals, and Moral Tales" is a series of imagined constellations. The collection of creatures, memories, family, and icons play a similarly important role to how the constellations in our planet's night sky address the figures and stories important to ancient cultures. Although the specific images are often personal, the relationships and experiences are universally human.

Just as no single starry night is the same, each Polaroid in the series represents its own unique constellation. The glowing saturated colors of exploding stars and distant galaxies, the markings on the emulsion of the Polaroid, and the unexpected behavior of expired film capture the magic and mystery of outer space and stargazing.
