From the nuclear plant disaster in Fukushima, Japan I have made a body of work trying to understand our fears and our understanding of nuclear power. I exhibited a set of solarplate prints in 2011, which uses light to set the plates, in essence the nuclear reactive power of the sun. 

These pieces are about the landscape, which is faintly radioactive, and I want to deal with how radioactivity is a natural occurance, and fires our universe, nuclear power is the reason we are here, without it the universe would be a dead place.

I'm also thinking about how we are created from star dust, how the matter in the universe is in perpetual flux and what our place is in existence, in objectified reality.

I ended up printing the last print on copper plate. This has several meanings, the primary being that illustration  prints were made using intaglio acid etch printing techniques, and we all have 50-80 mg of copper in our bodies. 

I hope you enjoy the project, thanks for looking.
