About the Artist

My work explores the relationship between the human world and the immense, often invisible universe that surrounds it. Through astrophotography and night landscape photography, I am interested in what becomes visible when daylight disappears: distant galaxies, structures within the Milky Way, ancient light, and celestial events occurring across timescales almost impossible to comprehend.

Artist Statement

All of the photographs in this exhibition were created beneath the dark skies of Nova Scotia. Familiar elements of the landscape—a bridge, a lighthouse, an abandoned vehicle, the coastline—become points of reference against a universe that extends far beyond them. These human structures speak to our desire to build, navigate, illuminate, and leave evidence of our presence. Above them exists something immeasurably older.

​

Astrophotography is also an act of looking into the past. The light recorded by the camera does not represent a single present moment. Some of it began its journey years, thousands of years, or millions of years before reaching the lens. Photography, a medium traditionally associated with preserving an instant, becomes instead a way of recording many different moments in cosmic history simultaneously.
