Christina Seely





Christina Seely

Work from the series Lux.

"Lux documents the artificial glow produced by major cities in the 3 brightest regions as seen on a NASA map of the world at night"

"In a time when it is argued that no aspect of nature is unaffected by human impact, my work reflects on a lifestyle that fosters an intense need to control nature while existing in an increasingly delicate balance with it's resources and rhythms.

I'm interested in the dialectic between the surface documentation of a photograph and the complex reality that lies beyond that surface - how beauty can suggest the simple and ideal while both subtly reflecting and obscuring an often darker more complicated truth."
