Humanity has always looked to the universe with a sense of curiosity and longing. What

was once limited to observation with the naked eye and the imagination has now been expanded

exponentially thanks to technology. When I look up at the night sky or at images like those from

the Hubble Space Telescope, I feel an overwhelming sense of curiosity, elation, fear, and peace. I

cannot help but think that the first people to walk the earth felt the same emotional pull when

glancing upward. Night is Calling explores the ways in which humanity has strived to grasp and

connect to the cosmos. References to constellation mythology, astronomical paintings, spiritual

moments, and everyday encounters with the unknown universe occur throughout my work. I

created this series as a way of narrating the methods through which we relate to the vastness of

space, and reconcile with our scale in comparison.
