Artist Statement
As a career photographer I have spent my life photographing Earth: nature, wildlife, and the contemporary
works of humanity. Now I have begun to explore worlds beyond our planet, using models, photo collage and
high dynamic range photo techniques to place the viewer in deep space or imaginative yet scientifically
accurate alien landscapes. TITAN EXPLORER shows a robotic adventurer on the frozen methane sands of
Titan, a remarkable moon of Saturn, now revealed by modern science as a complex world similar to Earth in
many ways, but all at 200 degrees below zero. Here, ice mountains are as hard as granite, and a dense
atmosphere creates rain, rivers and oceans of liquid hydrocarbons, with seasons, storms and lightening.
Could life possibly exist here? Titan Explorer has been sent to find out.
