This image merges the cameraless shadows of cloth and cosmos. I recorded the stars by exposing a gelatine silver film to the light of the moonless Mallee night-sky pressed under an old astronomical glass negative. I cast the muslin fabric on film exposed to flash. The overlay of yarn on the universe alludes to the fragility of our torn world, entanglements we are yet to unpick, and a question: can we discern hope, solace, or even redemption in the great wilderness of the heavens?
