Not Comets: A Biographical Account of the
Early Years of Charles Messier, French Comet Hunter is told mainly through
photographs (with a few sculptures and objects). Messier was an 18th century French
astronomer whom the gallery visitor will discover had many secrets not told in
today’s history books. Images hint at the science of photography being used decades
before photography is known to be invented, and in Messier’s astral world, it is not
only scientific instruments he used to detect heavenly objects. Sale also called on a
few friends to help tell this story. A fabric sculpture by Amie Carson, nontraditional
photography by Becky Ramotowski, historical avian photography by Dottie Love, and
a whimsical series of photographs by Julia Schloss round out this story of stars and
an unusual friendship.
