Night Sky works are prepared using a program that maps the positions of the stars visible from the earth in a 3D virtual model of the universe. The artist selects an existing area of the sky but displaces the viewpoint away from the earth elsewhere in the universe, thus the final image represents the real stellar order but shown in a way that will not be seen in this way from the surface of Earth.

The titles refer to star constellations. Aquila, located in the northern sky, on the celestial equator. The constellation’s name means “the eagle” in Latin.

The constellation represents the eagle of the god Jupiter in Roman mythology. It was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century.
