Mark Hagen — Kepler-186f
Mark Hagen

Kepler-186f

2014

A rugged, textured surface of coarse burlap becomes the foundation for Hagen's atmospheric exploration of Kepler-186f, the first Earth-sized exoplanet discovered in a habitable zone. Layers of acrylic paint build upon the fabric's natural weave, evoking the alien yet strangely familiar terrain of a distant world. The materiality of the work mirrors its subject, inviting contemplation of the unknown landscapes that may exist beyond our solar system.
