MELISSA NEIL FLICKERING LIGHTS Feb 9 – March 17 2024 Flickering Lights is a series of paintings made in response to twilight, tidal bores, night skies, satellites, and electrical garden lighting. I began the early stages research and image gathering of this work in 2022 when I knew I was interested in creating a series of work based on night skies. I was specifically interested in the cosmos after reading Jo Marchant’s book: The Human Cosmos: Civilization and the Stars (In this non-fiction book the author outlines the connections humans have made throughout history to their place in the universe in response to stars, constellations and the awe of the night sky).
These paintings come from images captured while spending time on the Minas Basin, an inlet on the Bay of Fundy, in Nova Scotia. I set up a tripod in a backyard overlooking the basin and took long exposure photographs at dusk and late night, capturing the sky, the stars, satellites, the tide in and out at various intervals, and the surrounding vegetation which was sometimes backlit by starlight and other times front lit with electric garden lights or the camera flash.
