Observations from the Unknown

These seemingly abstract pieces tell the tale of newly discovered solar systems and exoplanets; planets that orbit stars outside of our own solar system. Kepler is a space observatory launched by NASA in 2009, with the aim to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy in search of new exoplanets. Based on Kepler's findings, Owen brought each of pieces to life using hand-crafted layers of paper – the result is a series of deeply layered pieces playing with scale and hierarchy, that communicate data from Kepler’s mission, whilst abstractly spelling out the names of each planet and star system featured.
