The New Nothing
The New Nothing is a series of images from the Hubble Space Telescope of star clusters, stripped of the empirical data that renders them remarkable. All that remains are impressions of light. This body of work questions the finality of images, by looking at these images apart from the layers of data, disguised by way of their composited beauty . It investigates the mediation of this type of imaging and the way in which it is presented. Every image is replaced by its own romanticism, becoming indistinguishable from truth or any definitive history. Only in a process concerned with the mechanics of its' production can we understand the photography and for that matter, printmaking.

The smaller prints are fitted in to limited edition sleeves with a series of text taken from scientific journals printed on the cover.

They were featured at Conveyor Arts as part of the Based on a True Story exhibition.

The framed prints were a central piece of a solo exhibition at Wire + Nail Gallery and the group show Vast and Undetectable at the San Francisco Arts Commission gallery.

The larger prints were shown as part of the solo exhibition, The New Nothing, at Cain Schulte gallery, together with the photopolymer plates that made them.
