Nick Hobbs makes small, densely layered graphite pencil drawings on paper. As an amateur astronomer, his art is heavily influenced by a lifetime of looking through telescopes, and his drawings emulate the phenomenal qualities of those experiences. In the telescope’s eyepiece, every rarified photon of light—like the delicate stroke of a pencil—is significant to the faint image that emerges upon the night sky’s velvety surface. In these artworks, the scale gets confused, providing a strange sensation of intimacy with distant objects of incomprehensible size, magically weaving the mysterious with the familiar.
