In the distance of time (draws, and is charmed from moving), to be featured this summer on the Artspace Project Wall, an inky night sky and an ocean’s white-capped swell are illuminated by the blazing descent of an otherworldly comet. As this interstellar traveler meets the Earth’s atmosphere, it threatens to collapse the space between geological and cosmological time into a singular extinguishing moment while reminding us of nature’s awe-inspiring power.
