That Booty.

spindrift: Dione, moon of Saturn, photographed by Cassini, 3rd February 2007.

a wishing well that all men call the world: earth against the stars, photographed by soho and dscovr, 18th november 2015.

a composite of real imagery: earth is photographed by dscover’s epic instrument (11 times over 22 hours), but epic exposures are too short to pick up stars; instead, i have used a starfield synthesized from soho images earlier in the year when the sun was moving through taurus and auriga, where the earth is now. the framing of the images and the apparent motion of the stars are also based on soho images. 

the numerous inaccuracies and creative slights of hand are mine.

( i balance on a wishing well that all men call the world we are so small between the stars so large against the sky and lost among the subway crowds i try to catch your eye - )
