"Star Data II (2024), a painstakingly detailed black-pencil drawing based on a photographic print from the notebook of Annie Jump Cannon, the astronomer who devised the Harvard spectral classification scheme. Up close, the image reads like a scramble of glyphs or keyboard tiles—ornate, repetitive, indecipherable. Its surface seems to undulate like a pool of quicksilver, with lighter swaths of milky graphite (where the artist’s hand tired) offset by darker passages, evidence of sustained pressure and physical endurance. Distance allows the image to cohere. From afar, the image’s underlying logic sharpens into sublime focus—a city skyline looming through fog, an aerial view of a densely populated metropolis."
