Millie Benson’s recent work ranges from tiny planet portraits to depicting astronomical objects and celestial events seen through telescopes like Hubble and James Webb. Her art delves into astronomical imaging, exploring evolving tools and technologies, and creating imagined astronomical places. By using techniques such as long exposure photography and infrared light reflection, Benson’s work merges color theory, material process, and performative painting. This creates detailed, luxurious worlds that explore both outer and inner spaces, inspired by our understanding of the universe.
