In a Different Space and Time

by Ashley Arnett-Shipley

This body of work began during the quarantine, a time when the world felt like too much and many of us questioned our perceptions of reality. Much like our understanding of the Universe, things once thought to be true were found to be false at an ever advancing rate. Perhaps many of us felt like we were floating in space and maybe some of us are still out there, finding our way back.

We are the Universe and it is us, made up of the same cosmic dust. Space is warped by the objects within it, similar to how our communities are shaped by the actions of the individuals within them. Our individual movements through space have undeniable effects on the passage of time.
