Philip Van Keuren’s images are prompted by everyday observations that reveal the world as sublimely beautiful while simultaneously unknowable. This piece depicts an orrery– a mechanical representation of the solar system. “Orrery” was made from the artist’s original 35mm camera negative using the historical technique of photogravure, hand-printed from a single etched copper plate in black ink. It is from a series of forty photogravures by the artist, collectively titled “Toward What Sun?”.
