‘The Catastrophic Explosion and Loss of the Antares Rocket’, University of Reading, March 2016. 5m by 4m by 4m, cotton, polyethene, foil, wood, UV light, LED lights and video projections

This installation tries to conjure the idea of a space ship crash site on an alien planet. There is a ‘cave’ like formation, inside which a film is projected. This cave is big enough to crouch inside, creating a claustrophobic environment, forcing the viewer to crawl in, turn round and be blinded by the glare of the projection.
