A Spectacular View of Unearthly Beauty

​

For me, the goal of fine art photography is often to render an interpretive abstraction of reality, rather than merely documenting what is seen. Cosmic Microscapes, however, is a project that marries science and art in a way that reveals just how beautiful unaltered reality can be. Through a collaboration with Dr. Tony Irving, a meteoriticist at the University of Washington, I have photographed some of the world’s rarest meteorites. These images represent real objects from space - small pieces of the Moon, Mars, and asteroids - rendered without alteration. They are completely natural, documentary in the extreme, yet utterly abstract.
