Russell Crotty lives on 130 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains, where he built the Solstice Peak Observatory. From there, he studies nocturnal skies with a ten-inch f/8 Newtonian reflector telescope, taking extensive notes on his observations. He makes studies of star clusters, constellations, and planets, then later makes his final drawings in his studio, where his memory collides with empirical observation. This exhibition includes several new globe drawings. Russell Crotty was an artist in residence. |
