Constellations

‘Constellations’ is a solo exhibition which comprises several works by Ramsgate artist, Dr Melanie King. The artworks are presented in each ground floor room of Albion House, forming ‘constellations’ within the overall ‘universe’ of Kings’ artistic practice.

Works shown in the exhibition:

-In Praise Of Raw Data

The In Praise of Raw Data project is a result of an ongoing collaboration between artist Dr Melanie King and Dr Claudia Mignone - an astronomer and science communicator at INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Rome. This project highlights the beauty of raw data artefacts resulting from cosmic interactions with telescope sensors.

- Ancient Light

Ancient Light comprises a series of analogue photographs of the night sky, produced in several dark sky locations.

- Lunar Portraits

Kings related project Lunar Portraits consists of a series of photographs using only light from the Full Moon to expose the image. Participants were asked to gaze up at the full moon whilst moonlight fell upon their face.
