Estrella Azul de Carbono, Pequeño Suspiro

Carbon Blue Star, Little Sigh

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”  Carl Sagan

Carbon Blue Star, Little Sigh is a reflection on our elemental construct, an echo through time, dream time and perhaps a glance into a hidden land. As we are stardust, from trees come picture books. 

In August 2024 I was invited to install a solo show by Kaplan Projects in Palma, Mallorca

The exhibition coincided with Nit de L'Art @artpalmacontemporani

Thorp takes us on a journey through the gallery, starting with a miniature theatre playing scenes from the Carbon Blue Star installation, a glimpse of the work that is to come. The exhibition includes large giclee photographs, gesso panels, exquisite framed film works,  an original score by Thorp and a large scale immersive installation.

Weaving through the images - a forest, ancient books, a neon star, a document of life on a Spanish island, a girl dreaming - a voice calling us to find our ‘little selves’ in an unfathomable universe.

One upon a time, stardust, 

a tinderbox of fables

reaching through the quite air, 

long, long ago

humble, celestial, sigh,

carbon blue star
