THE POEM THAT TOOK THE PLACE OF A MOUNTAIN (2018-2019)
This body of works was begun in the summer of 2018 during a two-month stay at the McDonald Observatory, a research and educational institution situated on two of the highest peaks within Davis Mountains of West Texas.
Inspired both by the astronomical studies of the observatory and the landscape it occupies, The Poem that Took the Place of a Mountain is a visual meditation on our natural world, as well as on our human attempts to capture, understand, and translate natural phenomena.
