An excerpt of my chapter 'The transparency of night' from Dark Skies: Places, Practices, Communities is included in the reading room of the Ikob Museum Into the Void - Empty Spaces as a Tool of Artistic Knowledge exhibition which is open until 05 January 2025. The incredible exhibition includes Ton Slits, Tinka Pittoors, Leo Vroegindeweij and Nathalie Brans.
Nathalie said that 'One of the exhibition rooms is transformed into a place for the visitors to reflect and react on the exhibition. In this room you can also find my growing collection of Moon Stories and add your own personal Moon Story.'
Gathering Light was commissioned by Format Festival and Derby Cathedral in 2023 and explored my connection to the night sky, the tides, and grief and loss. Dark Skies: Places, Practices, Communities was edited by Nick Dunn and Tim Edensor - I am forever grateful to have been invited to contribute! You can read the entire book for free here.
