Carbon Blue Star, Little Sigh
September 2024
«The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.» Carl Sagan
Carbon Blue Star, Little Sigh is a reflection on our elemental construct, an echo through time, dream time and perhaps a glance into a hidden land. As we are stardust, from trees come picture books.
Thorp takes us on a journey through the gallery, starting with a miniature theatre playing scenes from the Carbon Blue Star installation, a glimpse of the work that is to come. The exhibition includes large giclee photographs, gesso panels, exquisite framed film works, an original score by Thorp and a large scale immersive installation.
Weaving through the images – a forest, ancient books, a neon star, a document of life on a Spanish island, a girl dreaming – a voice calling us to find our 'little selves' in an unfathomable universe.
