I am interested in the way that light operates in the production of images and the way that images span distance. My work draws on the history of image making devices from the Victorian period to more modern satellites and space telescopes. During the Victorian period technological advancements allowed engineers and inventors to develop small still and moving image projectors (e.g., the magic lantern, zoetrope, etc.) that created wonder and expanded our visual vocabularies and expectations. Following the technological lineage of optics, the space age has produced a greatly expanded sense of wonder and remote vision through programs like the Hubble telescope and Mars rovers and satellites.
