Excellent book recommendation by @victoriadoyle - helps with thinking about the 'obscured light' in my research project.⁠

Throwback to a Martian display at the 'Hello Universe' exhibition #mediamuseum Bradford - makes me think about the staging of science - immersive and controlled.⁠

A compass from my project 'Anatomy of a Northern Astronomer'. A lot of what I do is #reflect on things I have previously made (reflective practice is one of PhD research methodologies). I think there is often a lot of pressure to generate new content for audiences, and I sometimes feel guilty for not shooting as much as I 'should'. It's useful to remind myself that there are new narratives and stories to be found in things that already exist. I think about archives, and how artists and researchers breathe new life and stories into things that have lived before.⠀

A great read by @tiffany.francis - very inspirational for my PhD on dark skies, encounter and photography with @kielderobservatory. ⁠

Post-it note evolution, #3.⠀

This is tomorrow @islingtonmill! Thrilled to be showing work on my new film ‘Observatory’, shot at @kielderobservatory @visitkielder with additional camera by @_jakecarley & @michaeldaglish - the film incorporates sonified images shot on site and is an immersive encounter into observing in an international dark sky park.
