Celestial

Twenty prints of the sun, the moon and the stars, drawn flat and fine: mid-century suns, moons crossing the sky, the constellations of both hemispheres and planets on their orbits, in midnight and gold, terracotta and sand, black and bone, and dusk pinks.

Forty tapered black rays in a long, short, middle, short rhythm open out from a plain gold core, on a bone ground. Two smaller bursts sit lower right and lower left.Burst of StarsNo. 1
Nine pale gold moons follow one faint arc across a midnight sky, waxing from a thin crescent on the left to full at the top and waning to a crescent on the right. Low black land runs along the bottom and small stars fill the sky.Moon CrossingNo. 2
A large plum crescent holds a mauve one, which holds a rose one, then a peach one and a cream full moon, each opening towards the upper right. A small plum dot sits low on a dusky rose ground.Nested CrescentsNo. 3
A black moon covers the sun on a black ground. A bright inner ring hugs its edge, soft streamers in bone and stone reach out longest along one diagonal, and fine, evenly spaced rays fan out between them. A single bead of light flares on the rim, lower left.CoronaNo. 4
A terracotta sun sits low in the left corner of a sand ground, and seven fine black orbits sweep out from it across the frame. Planets of different sizes ride the orbits, one ringed, one with a small moon on a dotted path.OrreryNo. 5
Two round chart plates on a charcoal ground, the northern sky and the southern, each centred on its pole and ruled with rim ticks, hour spokes, dashed circles and the ecliptic in a dashed terracotta line. The star figures sit at their true positions, joined in fine bone line: the Plough, the Little Bear, Cassiopeia, Cygnus, Lyra and the Pleiades on the northern plate; Orion, Canis Major, Scorpius, Sagittarius and the Southern Cross on the southern. Aldebaran and Antares are marked in terracotta.Two HemispheresNo. 6
A bright head ringed in gold sits in the upper right of a deep navy ground, and its tail of many fine curved lines in gold, cream and slate fans down to the lower left corner. Small stars fill the sky.CometNo. 7
Eight flat bands of plum, mauve, rose and peach narrow towards the horizon, where a cream half-sun sits on dark plum water. Bars of cream and peach, shrinking as they go, carry its reflection down the page.Banded SunriseNo. 8
A gold disc with a ring of thirty-two short rays sits on a cream ground, with a midnight crescent below it, or beside it on the wide sheets, its curved edge turned towards the sun.Sun and MoonNo. 9
A sky runs from midnight blue at the top through violet to a soft pink glow above low dark hills. A cream crescent lies like a shallow bowl in the upper right, its lit edge turned down towards the sun that has just set; small stars thin out as the sky lightens, and along the horizon a row of slim cypresses and one small minaret stand black against the last light.NightfallNo. 10
An armillary sphere in sand-coloured line on terracotta: a double meridian ring, a broad horizon ring, the equator and the two tropics, a ticked ecliptic band and the two colures around a rust bead, with the polar axis running through, on a slim turned stand. The rings at the back are drawn fainter, so the sphere reads in depth.ArmillaryNo. 11
A round planet striped in mauve, rose, peach and plum sits in the middle of a deep plum ground, with three tilted rings passing behind it and in front. A small peach moon and faint stars fill the corners.Ringed PlanetNo. 12
A solid terracotta disc sits on pale sand, surrounded by rings in terracotta, ochre and rust that get thinner and further apart until they run off the edges as fine lines.Sun RingsNo. 13
Tapered pale gold streaks cross a midnight ground, all pointing back to one spot beyond the top right corner, some tipped with a small cream spark.Meteor ShowerNo. 14
A cream four-point star sits in the upper half of a midnight ground inside a thin gold ring. Fine grey lines of different lengths radiate from it, and every eighth line runs in gold to the edge of the frame.North StarNo. 15
A cream full moon hangs over a single faceted peak in plum and mauve, with a lower rose range behind and dark foothills at the bottom, on a pale blush sky.Moon over the MountainNo. 16
A terracotta sun with twenty-four curved flame rays, alternately long and short, sits on a sand ground, ringed by small rust dots, with a sand line of dots inside and an ochre centre. A rust dune runs along the bottom.Terracotta SunNo. 17
A large terracotta crescent, traced inside with a fine blush line, holds an eight-pointed ochre star made of two overlapping squares in its hollow. A thin rust ring and a dotted terracotta halo circle them both, with four small sparkles on the halo and a scatter of tiny stars.Moon and StarNo. 18
The curved top of a vast planet crosses the lower third of a midnight ground in bands of gold, bronze and navy, with a fine gold line of atmosphere above it. A small gibbous moon hangs in the upper right among stars.PlanetriseNo. 19
A spiral galaxy seen at a slant on a deep rust ground: two arms of fine sand and ochre lines wind out from a cream core in a thin gold ring, strung with small stars, and four cream four-point stars sit in the corners among tiny dots.Spiral GalaxyNo. 20
