morning star evening star

We are increasingly reliant on quantitative analysis in arriving at our worldview and we now come to conclusions and assumptions that, in the past, would have been explained by myths, fables and superstitions. Understanding the function of myths in a social structure serves to clarify various stages in the history of human thought and also helps us to better understand contemporary life. Mythological stories reflect the vulnerabilities of human existence through the manipulations of superhuman beings and this piece explores this notion of frailty by building on examples from past societies where myth supplied models for human behavior. morning star, evening star, 2010, is loosely based on Venus, our failed perception of love and what ties us together. The work was produced using 3-D photographic images taken by a whole body scanner, custom software and After Effects.
