Work Overview

These are 2 pieces from the Museums Victoria 360 planetary dome documentary entitled "Starlight" narrated by Sigrid Thornton. Starlight is told through the eyes of Margaret, as she steps back in time to relive childhood fears of the dark that awoke her curiosity about the night sky. Join Margaret as she takes you on an out-of-this-world journey to discover constellations and ancient cultures, the birth and death of a star and the inner workings of our Sun.

Starlight features stunning fulldome visualisations of being inside a supernova explosion and drifting through a stellar nursery, a rich gaseous nebula that is collapsing into stars.

Starlight shows regularly at Museums Victoria https://museumsvictoria.com.au/scienceworks/whats-on/starlight/
