A Cosmopolitan Cosmology

This is a collaborative arts project based on Sherkin Island, West Cork, Ireland.
From June 21 2009 - December 21 2009 we used pinhole cameras to record solargraph images on the islands of Roaring Water Bay and its environs. Cameras were distributed among the Sherkin Diaspora reaching far and wide. This blog documents the process and solargraphs created. For current work please see my website

Winter Solstice 2008 - Summer Solstice 2009

From Artist in teh Community 2009

Jo Jefferies sent me this image. After the research phase of the project had completed, she put her can camera out for a six month exposure from Dec 21 2008 - June 21 2009. You can see from the image the huge range in the apparent movement of the Sun. There are two different versions of the image. The one above was arrived at by taking the digital negative sent to me by Jo and inverting it, without any additional tweaks. The image below was sent by Jo after she got help with inverting it. It would be interesting to discuss the differences between the two images, as we will have all these production choices to make in 6 months time.
